Along with Maderuelo, Nogué, Augé, de Certeau and Burckhardt, we will show how landscape is the result of a cultural construction and that it is an abstract concept. The growing process of abstraction of space corresponds to the gradual transformation of places into non-places. Faced with this situation, the need to reactivate an active and direct relationship with space once again arises. Walking, the most elemental "practice of space", is a powerful tool to link us again to the place we inhabit. Lucius Burckhardt, inventor of the "Strollology", teaches us how walking makes us regain our innate ability to create meanings.
