Abstract

The arrival of foreigners to our country was not an easy task to undertake in a Spain in crisis after 1898, politically divided between conservatives and liberals and with serious gaps in transport infrastructure. The Spanish business needed new fronts and tourism could become an important factor and commercial driver.

Searching and building around that goal starts from 1905 in when public and private initiative made the first steps towards this end, and societies-unions are constituted according to the French model to promote the passion for travel and reception of travelers.
