La cuenca del Vinalopó, al sur del País Valenciano, está compuesta por una serie de comarcas industriales densamente pobladas que han sido habitadas desde la Antigüedad. Aprovechando la perspectiva diacrónica que ofrecen los nombres de lugar, se reconstituyen virtualmente ciertos elementos naturales y culturales del paisaje histórico de la comarca del Vinalopó mediante un análisis toponímico basado en elucidar la etimología de los nombres de lugar, en el método de observación de los rasgos geográficos de dichos lugares y en las fuentes históricas que se refieren a los mismos. The Vinalopó basin, in the south of the Valencian Community (Spain), is composed of densely populated industrial towns that have been inhabited since ancient times. Taking advantage of the diachronic perspective offered by place names, certain natural and cultural elements of the historic landscape of the Vinalopó region are rebuilt by means of a toponymic analysis, based on decrypting the etymology of place names, by observing geographical traits in these places, and by consulting historical sources associated with them.
