abstract = {Background: This article addresses the following question: why don’t primary and
secondary school students perform urban walks or hikes during cultural and tourist visits of the
cities they live in, when engaging in physical activity (PA)? The aim is to demonstrate that exploring
cities on foot is a di erent, important, and necessary way to perform PA, that leads to improving
social relations and exposing individuals to culture; in particular, teachers would be trained for
this. Methods: qualitative methodology based on exploratory observation; state-of-the-art literature
review; design of a didactic proposal in the form of an UrbanWalk. Results: existence of publications
on related activities in many countries including Spain; development and implementation of the
Urban Walk; opinions of its future teachers and their knowledge of the possibilities and advantages
of this proposal and its relationship with di erent knowledge subjects. Conclusions: the Urban Walk
facilitates future teacher knowledge of cities and provides a new approach to PA; physical-cultural
activities that complement the proposal need to be designed.},
