Smart Tourism y Patrimonio Literario: Los casos de Edimburgo y Barcelona

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the opportunities that arise from the creation of products based on mobile technology that help to interpret the literary heritage in tourist destinations. In first place and as state of the art, a research about mobile applications in Edinburgh, which is a consolidated touristic literary destination, is carried out. The conclusions of this research, together with the principal ideas of the Educating Cities movement, let the authors value, from a socioeducative and touristic perspective, the viability and the opportunities that come from the creation of these products in the context of Barcelona.
