Understanding the perspective of cultural heritage building in the territories, both physical and cultural parameters involves dividing break between the material and immaterial, removing the distinction between form and content, in order to explain and protect the significant relationships, cultural, historical and symbolic, from the understanding that cities and local identity are created in a comprehensive manner by the joint action of diverse groups of people. Catherine Palmer (1998) in the text "From Theory to Practice" states that regional identities are constructed from the interaction of different ethnic groups settle in a territory defined by binding in a dominant ethnic group, without losing the ability to maintain and communicate both the identity 'collective' as their ethnic or social group. Therefore, the reflection about the identity can not leave aside the arguments concerning identities 'ethnic' and cultural practices. This research, done by a mobility grant of the ieo seeks to inquire about the local identity of Montevideo, applying the historical foundation Old Town, a methodology originally designed in Master of Cultural Heritage and Territory in the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana called flash drives, analyzes the relationship between the different tracks and intangible assets, particularly the kitchen and associated practices of production and consumption, which are in a specific geographical area, with the material traces present in ln order to understand the ways in which people settled there built their territory from functional or symbolic aspects.
