Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper shows that the Spanish tourist phenomenon was not new to the 1960s and it demonstrates that the foundations of the industry can be located in the decades prior to the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). It offers a new series of statistics for accommodation, spa resources and tourism brokering in pre-Civil War Spain through a careful examination of Spain's tourism resources during the first third of the twentieth century using new quantitative and qualitative evidence. The analysis generates a series of tourism indicators not available in the existing historiography. To this end, it explores the few known macro-magnitudes for the period between 1900 and 1939, categorising tourism resources by using accounting records drawn from related economic activities. The article concludes with an analysis of the tourism stock described above.
