Since the 1970s Portmán, a small town on the coast of Murcia, has been surrounded by a growing tourism sector. While much of Murcia’s coastline was being developed for tourism purposes, Portmán made its living from mining. But the town’s mining industry began to decline in the 1980s and finally disappeared in 1991, leaving behind a devastated environmental and social landscape; the bay that the town overlooks had been completely filled with mining waste. This paper enquires at the changes in the practices and discourses around tourism development, as displayed by the community’s interest groups.
