Summary: The geodiversity concept is slowly gaining social recognition. Municipalities can play an important role in raising the awareness of their communities and tourists about the importance of geodiversity. Arcos de Valdevez municipality in Northern Portugal has developed an initiative for the educative and touristic promotion of the local geodiversity. This initiative includes publications, geological interpretation of trails, an educative kit for teachers, a dedicated website and app, and an interpretative centre where visitors can enjoy 3D and interactive devices to visualize the municipality geodiversity.
