Resumo

The aim of this paper is to present a study of the virtual guides –with multimedia portable information– available for the 'Sea and Land' National Park of the Atlantic Islands in Galicia. Notwithstanding technical limitations, the use of multimedia guides in natural environments offers a plenty of advantages, especially where offering information on analogue supports is difficult or not desired. A natural environment is a place to be explored, where pleasure, physical activity, land navigation, contemplation of the landscape and knowledge are strongly linked and a multimedia portable guide can enlarge this "experience in the nature". The used of multimedia guides can be rated as positive: some of the m-learning advantages are widely implemented (specially in the use of audio files, and portable information), but also some given functions are constricted by technical and conceptual handicaps that may limit the visitors' interest to use this services
