This book is the result of the compilation of various publications that we have been making in the area of Social Sciences Didactics, in the Department of Specific Didactics, at the University of Cordoba, Spain. In our eagerness to train future teachers in concepts, methodology and competencies, which they will later be able to apply in Primary Education classrooms, we have tried to look for ways that would be useful for this purpose. Among the various possibilities, we have considered that the teaching of local history presents several very valid characteristics for the teaching of historical time, chronological time and the development of historical and critical thinking of our students, especially because it favors attention and learning about the environment, increases motivation to learn and discover aspects of their city, allows them to understand the meaning of heritage or the history of their locality in general terms or to encourage critical analysis, as citizens, of what is happening around them.
