Abstract
In the general context of the processes of accumulation by dispossession, the socio-spatial logics of evictions due to foreclosure and their incidence on the extent of social vulnerability in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, are examined. The analysis contemplates, on the one hand, the links between the real estate expansion prior to the crisis and the intra-urban distribution of mortgage foreclosures and, on the other, through case analysis, its spatiality and meaning in a socially vulnerable neighborhood. The combination of methods allows the analysis of the intensity and distribution of the evictions in the different social areas and the extension of the vulnerability that the loss of the housing entails. Results show how foreclosures have contributed to the spatial diffusion of social vulnerability and reveal, at the same time, the difficulties faced by residents in the spaces affected by such processes.

Summary
El estudio de las geografías de la desposesión en la ciudad de Santa Cruz de Tenerife se aborda a través de procedimientos distintos pero complementarios. Finalmente, la segunda periferia es un sector más alejado que se desarrolló a partir de 1975 para el alojamiento de población de bajos ingresos y que ha concentrado, por tanto, la mayor parte de la expansión inmobiliaria reciente de la ciudad, con viviendas unifamiliares adosadas y promociones de vivienda pública, protegida y privada en bloques de altitud media y elevado número de viviendas (Díaz et al, 2002). El incremento del desempleo y la precariedad laboral han desembocado en dificultades para asumir el pago de las deudas contraídas y justifican la magnitud de la crisis hipotecaria, pues este sector de la ciudad se sitúa a la cabeza en la proporción de hogares con ingresos mensuales inferiores a 1000 euros y fue también el que registró un mayor incremento del desempleo entre 2009 y 2012 (imas, 2014).
