Abstract
[RESUMEN]Aproximación a las actividades turísticas minoritarias en espacios rurales maduros de Canarias. Una oferta incipiente y complementaria al modelo de “sol y playa”. El turismo rural en Canarias se ha ido consolidando a la par que su propia evolución como destinos maduros. Las actividades recreativas-turísticas se constituyen como estrategias claves para complementar y diversificar la oferta turística del turismo de masas, especialmente el senderismo y las actividades relacionadas con el turismo activo. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo conocer el papel que desempeñan otras actividades “minoritarias” como el astroturismo, el turismo ornitológico y el enoturismo en este proceso diversificador de la economía turística. Los resultados demuestran que a pesar de su limitada concurrencia, las actividades demuestran tener el potencial suficiente para su desarrollo y consolidación.

The results show that despite its limited followers, these activities seem to have enough potential to its own development and consolidation
