Abstract
The village of San Javier (southern of Spain) has been configured as a highly touristy territory. The aim of this research is to analyze the urban-tourist transformations and typologies implemented, especially those characterized by the presence of external elements with an impact on water demands (gardens and swimming pools). Different databases on housing and population have been consulted to digitize the urban typologies. The results indicate that since the 1960s, there has been a demographic increase. This is due to the intense urban process motivated by residential and sun and beach tourism, resulting in urbanizations with high water consumption that increase, along with climatic conditions, as well as the dependence of water resources on other basins and the risk of drought. However, with the impulse of desalination, there is a possible end to the scarcity of water and a territory less vulnerable to the effects of drought.
