It occupies a central place in teaching geography and offers many opportunities for the integration of one’s own contents of geographic education. Landscape must be presented as a portion of space on the Earth's surface where natural elements and the actions of human beings interact, a complex reality where nature and culture mix. Knowing a landscape means more than knowing a portion of the territory, it also implies understanding the social groups and peoples that inhabit it. In this regard, and in addition to the study of exceptional, singular, or exotic landscapes, it is necessary to value the importance of ordinary landscapes close to schoolchildren. In this article, a curricular review of primary education in Galicia (Spain) is carried out with the aim of knowing how the study of landscape is approached, also taking into account the guidelines set out in the basic curricula at the national level.engCopyright (c) 2022 Francisco Xosé Armas-Quintá, Francisco Rodríguez-Lestegás, Xosé Carlos Macía-Arce, Yamilé Pérez-GuilarteAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/GeographyLandscapeCurriculaDidacticsEnvironmentGaliciaSpain5404 Geografía regional5403 Geografía humana540301 Geografía cultural540306 Geografía socialjournal article10.3986/AGS.10457open access
