Based on the case study of the Cuevas in the metropolitan area of Granada, we propose a critical reflection on the patrimonialisation of Nature, bringing us closer to new ways of conceiving inhabiting. To this end, we will focus on the development of community practices as well as the recovery of ancient knowledge, mixing up etnographical, geographical, and sociological research methods on the field._x000D_
In this socionatural context, new geographies of coexistence between city and nature are emerging and consolidating in the idea of a ‘vernacular dwelling’. _x000D_
We will position ourselves in the topicality of the struggle that is being carried out for the recognition of the Cuevas as «montes vecinales de mano común» in opposition to the indications of the new Granada city plan, which foresees their replacement by an urban park._x000D_
We will investigate the scenarios of institutionalisation of vernacular living as a common good that could prevent the Cuevas from falling into processes of patrimonialisation of the nature.
