Mass tourism in historic cities, the role of civil organizations in the case ...Bunt Arquitectura
Malaga is the administrative capital of the Costa del Sol, however, it has remained out of the mass tourism
until the last decade. Coinciding with the obsolescence of the port facilities, the city has found an
opportunity in cruise tourism, becoming the second largest Spanish destination in this sector. The main
attractive of Malaga is being the birthplace of one of the most revolutionary painters, Pablo Picasso;
developing a large program for museums and hotels openings, cultural events and urban projects over the
last few years in order to create an atmosphere suitable for all visitors’ tastes. On the other hand, this
process is also creating monofunctional sectors, gentrification and theming of the principal Historic Site
areas. This implies to focus on restoration plans and on projecting an image according to the one that
tourists expect to see. In this context, several civil organizations have been formed to denounce heritage
losses, social marginality and identity simplification through collaborative works that join web 2.0,
participative cartography and academic research. We present a selection of these works.
The Costa del Sol is one of the main mass tourism destinations throughout the Mediterranean coast.
The city of Malaga has stayed unconnected to this sector until recently, when different policies have
been applied in order to take advantage of its situation as the main arrival point for visitors travelling to
Andalusia. In just a decade the town has turned itself into a major cruise tourism destination and it has
been subject of a complete renovation to display the sort of heritage that visitors expect to see. This
process has led to the creation of wide monofunctional sectors, gentrification and theming of the
tourist-historic city while most of the rest of the Historic Site areas and their patrimonial objects remain
neglected. This paper focuses on the work that several civil organizations are currently carrying out to
analyze these consequences and propose alternatives by combining academic research and
participatory cartography.

2. Interesting cities: Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital city of Catalonia in Spain, and the second largest city in the country. It has a
population of 1,620,943 within its administrative limits. Barcelona is today one of the world's
leading tourist, economic, trade fair/exhibitions and cultural-sports centres. Moreover it has an
influence in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and art for countries all
over the world. Also all of them contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.
Bacerlona is a city full of architecture; we could find lots of interesting buildings parks and
museums. Barcelona not only has interesting buildings but also has beautiful beaches. Barceloneta
beach was listed as number one in a list of the top ten city beaches in the world according to
National Geographic and Discovery Channel; this beach is one of the oldest and largest beaches in
Barcelona and also the most popular.
The city has lots of parks, one of them is the Parc Güell which was made by the architect Antoni
Gaudi and it was built in the years 1900 to 1914. The terrace is the biggest attraction of the Parc, it
contained by a curved bench flowing around; it has a comfortable space in a fully rigid structure.
The terrace is made by colorful mosaics, pottery fragments, and iron railings. In 1969 it was
declared a historical artistic monument of national interest. Now, the park supports a wide variety of
wildlife, notably several of the non-native species of parrot found in the Barcelona area. Other birds
can be seen from the park, with records including Short-toed eagle. The park also supports a
population of Hummingbird hawk moths.
The architecture of the Barcelona city is one of the main tourism attractions. Since the first types of
architecture with the Romans and Gothic until now with the Art Nouveau Catalan and the
modernism, the architecture of Barcelona represent the history and the past of the city.
The architecture shows us the different periods that the city has had, started with: rare Roman
remains, which now just are only archaeological remains. From the medieval times, with the Gothic
style, for example the la Saint Eulalia Cathedral, the Tinell salon, etc. To continue with the
architecture history, the modernism was one of the most important periods of the architecture in
Barcelona with the most known and recognized modernist architect Antoni Gaudí with works as
Sagrada Família, the Parc Güell, Casa Milà, etc. The city also has different samples of
contemporary architecture.
On the other hand, in the post-Olympic stage the city has continued a remarkable architectural
development, constructing buildings such as the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona by
Richard Meier, the Torre Agbar by Jean Nouvel, and draft a new station to Sagrera, or the Railway
Triangle Tower Frank Gehry.
Finally, over the last 30 years, Barcelona has increased notoriously its urban development. Andreas
Thomann suggested on the page of Credit Suisse news that Barcelona is one of the leading
destinations for urban tourists from all over the globe. To that claim Jordi Borja adds that this
occurs normally in most of the cities with a characteristic that Barcelona has in terms of culture and
because of its tourist destinations. But in terms of development, Barcelona has experimented an
important increasing in terms of urban constructions because of the rapid development of Technical
Parks for high-tech industry. This carries on with some variation in terms of increase of population
and all the effects of this situation, such as, traffic congestions. Because of that, Barcelona is
considered as the second noisiest city in Europe after Sofia.
3. In conclusion, despite of the tourism, architecture, and beautiful places, the economy is the main
factor of the physical expansion in Barcelona. Business tourism has been boosted by the
development of Europe's largest conference centre on the Universal Forum of Cultures 2004 site,
according to the website geographyfieldwork.com.
