Durante el primer tercio del siglo XX se fue conformando en España el primer sistema turístico a partir de una realidad existente ya a finales del siglo XIX en algunos de sus territorios.

Internationally, starting in Great Britain, the history of travel agencies began in the mid-19th century. And in the case of Spain, when did the agencies arrive? Were they international or national? How many were there in this period of study? How did they operate? What services did they sell or provide? How were they organised? What role did they...
Cestona fue el primer balneario que se creó en el País Vasco y el único, por cierto, que aún hoy en día existe. Pertenece a esa primera generación de casas de baños que se fundaron en España en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, en ese deseo de las autoridades de poner en valor las aguas minerales del país. Pues bien, a través de este estudio de cas...

The data has been obtained from the information existent at the Instituto Nacional de Estadística about all the ind...
