The Biosphere Reserve of the Omaña and Luna Valleys (part of the Great Cantabrian, Leon, Spain) has started a process of mapping and recovering the toponymic patrimony that extends throughout the territory like an invisible and immaterial mesh. This task is being carried out in a collaborative way with the implication of the local population. The results are passed on to the National Geographical Institute that subsequently incorporates them into the public cartography available through the Iberpix-4 visor. This is an example of a methodology that can be used to recover the toponyms of an area as part of the immaterial cultural patrimony.
