New technologies are helping us to obtain more participation ability and boost a shared transformation of the territories we inhabit. Tactical urbanism and open source urban planning, in which everyone might feel a part by participating and contributing knowledge, is in a day's order. This shared knowledge, focused on urban landscape can help to promote the appreciation of unseen and unknown spaces around us. This paper shows how to approach the heritage to the citizenship in both an amusing and educational way at the same time. After a brief discussion in which we will review the cases where the introduction of new technologies (ICT) benefits the learning, perception and evaluation of the urban landscape that surround us, we will explain in detail how some experiences placed in the Camino de Santiago, passing from Estella (Navarra), should be provided. This environment has many factors which give a deep territorial identity. Its intense medieval roots, strategic location and landscape diversity (tangible and intangible), remarks this identity and makes it unique. These experiences will be the result of the collaboration between different cultural agents working in the area as well as the citizens themselves. It is intended, likewise, to involve the tourist or pilgrim who perceives that landscape for the first time and to find, this way, a glocal point of view (global + local) that will contribute to a better enhancement of this heritage from that crossed knowledge.

What would have the Situationists and the flaneurs from the beginning of the 20th century made if they had found with the same furniture, clothing, or food store over and over again? How had they reacted by bumping continuously into identical building typologies and constantly receiving the shadow of the same skyscrapers? Perhaps they had thought that they were walking on the same map; perhaps they would have thought that they were walking on an infinite map, which is recreated in that one or any other city in the world; the map of thousand cities.
There is not news in knowing that globalization forces us to the same city; to an urban morphology that is continuously repeated as if it were a nightmare. According to a UN report, 54 per cent of the world's current population resides in urban areas and everything remarks that the rural exodus is expected to increase. Even though small neorural initiatives encourage some statistics, it is foreseed that value will rice to 66 percent before 2050.
If it were just about walking on the same scenery, the problem wouldn’t increase, however, phenomen such as globalization or gentrification bring with them the complete lack of identity of the place in which they are heald; bringing with them the complete lack of memory. Organizations and institutions that have been working for decades to safeguard the built heritage, have been recently introducing new ways for the protection of the intangible heritage as well. Nevertheless, we understand that the work they are doing is not enough because it is a responsibility that belongs to everyone.
The gentrification counterpoint is the power of the human being working in a collective. It concerns about working from local knowledge, activating participatory processes in which the University, the administration technicians and other experts collaborate with the inhabitants themselves. We must pay attention to the Glocal concept (Global + Local) implementing global knowledge and local wisdom resources, in order to activate the processes of socialization of the landscapes that we inhabit from the social innovation, working with ICT as a way to activate civic design initiatives in our surroundings and thus, generating insipiration and engagement among citizens to make these processes evolve and to posses their own life.
This is a way not only to design cities jointly that will provide a unique map based on global experiences, but also regarding to our knowledge, needs, interests, feelings or memories. An inclusive and horizontal formula that more leisurely immerses human beings and achieves, from the creativity of each one, a unique way of recovering vanished landscapes that reinforce and keep our identity alive.
