Spanish term or phrase: núcleo (in this context)
La valorización turística del patrimonio forestal singular protegido con el Proyecto XXX se fundamenta en la creación de siete ***núcleos*** de itinerarios forestales de interpretación, dotados de la señalización y los equipamientos necesarios para ofrecer un producto de calidad. Cada ***núcleo*** consta de tres circuitos de diferente longitud y dificultad, que muestran el valor de los ecosistemas forestales maduros y la importancia de realizar una gestión sostenible del bosque. Los itinerarios han contado con la financiación de los fondos de XXX.

I know it can be translated as nucleus or centre, but neither sound right here and I just can't think WHAT does!

Many thanks in advance for any ideas,

hub
Explanation:
Just an idea, it means "central point of an activity or interest", according to the New Shorter Oxford, and seems to have been used in a similar context before.

focal point


Explanation:
Another one from Oxford. I'd suggest you use 2 different expressions for the two cases. "Hub" could be the other.
