Sumario:Ecotourism has been defined flexibly, on numerous occasions ad hoc to the empirical case study. The emergence of ecotourism has usually been associated with the continuity of traditional local communities and the conservation of the socio-environmental environment. The selective nature of visitors to certain places contributes to preserving the cultural traits of the communities in their place. But this common approach can often be absent and ecotourism is associated with certain more specialized or adventure activities carried out by specialized tourism companies little connected with the local population. location has no porosity with the socio-environmental environment. Through the analysis of the case of the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara in Spain, the contradictions of ecotourism as an activity connected with local communities and environmental services are revealed.
