¿Blessing from heaven or plague? Tourism in Franco’s Spain, 1939-1975

Abstract
This article explains as Spain, a country still underdeveloped in the field of international tourism during the first third of the twentieth century, went on to become a tourist power. We consider how and why did this transformation happen; What role did mass tourism play on the Spanish model of development between 1939 and 1975; and I address some of their socio-economic consequences, to question if “tourism was a godsend or a plague” in Franco’s Spain.Downloads
