Abstract

The economic recovery following WWII, produced in Western Europe a new social demand: massive tourism. To meet this new demand, Spain began the intensive construction of its coast line. The first stage of this transformation resulted in a period of experimentation on new residential typologies and urban plans able to satisfy the needs of an unknown new user: the massive holidaymaker. This article analyses some of the main urban plans for leisure built during the Spanish tourism boom in Alicante’s and western Murcia’s coast; a territory completely restructured by tourism
