Abstract
The expert information about geological heritage, such as that of the Spanish Geosite Inventory (IELIG), coexists in the Web 2.0 with informal volunteered geographic information available in different formats. We herein present a brief analysis of the data of the place labels of the Google Maps application associated to a selection of Spanish geosites with higher tourist interest. Some patterns have been identified in these place labels that may help in the future to try to estimate the order of magnitude of the number of visitors, the scenic value of the place or the satisfaction of the tourists. The data of the labels can also be useful as follow-up indicators of improvement actions affecting services, equipment, outreach activities, etc.
