Tourism, urbanization and lifestyles. New forms of residential mobility.

Abstract

This compilation carried out by the professors of the University of Alicante Tomás Mazón, Raquel Huete and Alejandro Mantecón makes a tour of the phenomenon of tourism and residential mobility. Reading these 28 articles allows us to know more and better those social practices that, while having a profound influence on the Spanish coastal geography, have been insufficiently studied. It is certain that this book will help to overcome this ignorance. The second residence is presented under a multiple prism that obliges us to consider its various dimensions and consequences; because of the dimension that preserves many academics and citizens in Spain, tourism, we must add its migratory, real estate and residential aspects. Let us see to what extent this is so.
