Chapter Chapter 8 in Tourism Destinations and Policies in Europe During the 20th Century, 2025, pp 105-121 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract During the first third of the twentieth century, before the Spanish Civil War, the Mediterranean coast of Andalusia specialized in tourism. The area around the city of Malaga, known as Costa del Sol, in Spain, evolved from an initial vocation of receiving minority tourism of Anglo-Saxon origin, which sought warm weather, to a clear specialization in mass tourism from Europe and based on the sun and beach segment, which occupied a large part of the active population. This chapter analyzes the stages of this process and the creation of specific infrastructures such as hotels, golf courses, airport and other services.
