Some Andalucians: from Civil War to Postwar Tourism Ian Salmon

The Spanish Civil War was an enormous tragedy in deaths, broken lives, and longlasting hatreds among the Spanish people. After it the Franco dictatorship added civil repression that dampened joy and hope for several decades, though partially relieved through a tourism boom, especially to southern Spain, that started in the late 1950s. Some English entrepeneurs took part, in association with Andalucians, to everybody's advantage. This book tells how it all happened.
