The Evolution of Renewable Landscapes in Sierra Nevada (Southern Spain)
From Small Hydro- to a Wind-Power Landscape
We explore the processes through which small hydropower and later on wind-power landscapes emerged in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Andalusia (southern Spain) and the evolution of landscape practices and landscape values related with these energies. Throughout the history of small hydro development in our study area, the attitudes to it have varied between rejection and acceptance. At the same time, the landscape features inherent to them were sometimes perceived as negative impacts and sometimes assimilated positively as new landscape values, depending on the historical and social context. The analysis of the evolution of hydropower in mountain landscapes and the related practices provides useful lessons for understanding the influence of new forms of renewable energy, not only in terms of their landscape impact but also in terms of the role of landscape values in determining their acceptance or rejection by different stakeholders.
