    11. CALVIÀ EN LA ÉPOCA CONTEMPORÁNEA A. Vives Reus (Universitat de les Illes Balears)87 y Departamento de Patrimonio Histórico del Ayuntamiento de Calvià 11.1. INTRODUCCIÓN Al igual que en el resto del Estado Español, la historia contemporánea del municipio de Calvià ha sido compleja, variada y llena de matices. Los marcos socioeconómicos y políticos de Mallorca y del conjunto del Estado han condicionado el devenir de este pueblo, pero a su vez, la propia idiosincrasia del municipio de Calvià, su base económica y su estructura social y política, ha otorgado a su evolución histórica un marco especialmente particular. Sin dejar de lado la evolución política del municipio, muy en consonancia con su marco geográfico de referencia, la historia contemporánea de Calvià puede dividirse en dos grandes momentos con tendencias socioeconómicas y territoriales marcadamente divergentes. Una primera fase, que podría llegar hasta mediados del siglo XX, estaría marcada por una estructura económica de tipo agrario y un estancamiento en el crecimiento de la población, con la aparición de fenómenos emigratorios importantes. La segunda fase, de gran vitalidad económica y con un gran impacto en la sociedad y en el territorio del municipio, se desarrollaría a partir de la década de los años 60 del siglo XX, y se caracterizaría por la aparición y el desarrollo del turismo de masas. Como veremos a lo largo de diferentes apartados, ello provocará, no sólo profundos cambios en la base económica del municipio, sino que también dará lugar a trasformaciones estructurales en la configuración de la población de Calvià, con la aparición de diferentes fenómenos de inmigración, y la construcción de una estructura territorial y una red urbana radicalmente distintas a las que, históricamente, habían marcado el devenir de este municipio.

  • Biocultural Heritages in Mallorca: Explaining the Resilience of Peasant Landscapes Within a Mediterranean Tourist Hotspot, 1870–2016
    sustainability Article Biocultural Heritages in Mallorca: Explaining the Resilience of Peasant Landscapes within a Mediterranean Tourist Hotspot, 1870–2016 Ivan Murray 1 , Gabriel Jover-Avellà 2,* , Onofre Fullana 3 and Enric Tello 4 1 Department of Geography, University of the Balearic Islands, 07122 Palma, Spain; [email protected] 2 Economics Department, University of Girona, Montilivi Campus, 17003 Girona, Spain 3 University of the Balearic Islands and Organic Farmers Association of Mallorca (APAEMA), 07122 Palma, Spain; [email protected] 4 Department of Economic History, Institutions, Policy and World Economy, University of Barcelona, Diagonal Avenue 690, 08034 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-972-418-223 Received: 13 February 2019; Accepted: 25 March 2019; Published: 1 April 2019 Abstract: Mallorca keeps an age-old biocultural heritage embodied in their appealing landscapes, largely exploited as an intangible tourist asset. Although hotel and real estate investors ignore or despise the peasant families who still persevere in farming amidst this worldwide-known tourist hotspot, the Balearic Autonomous Government has recently started a pay-for-ecosystem-services scheme based on the tourist eco-tax collection that offers grants to farmers that keep the Majorcan cultural landscapes alive, while a growing number of them have turned organic. How has this peasant heritage survived within such a global tourist capitalist economy? We answer this question by explaining the socio-ecological transition experienced from the failure of agrarian capitalism in the island, and the ensuing peasantization process during the first half of the 20th century through a local banking-driven and market-oriented land reform.

  • Valorisation of Hanging Tomatoes in Spain
    Preparatory action on EU plant and animal genetic resources Valorisation of hanging tomatoes in Spain Overview The hanging tomato is a very well-known type of tomato and is widespread in different regions of Spain, from the Mediterranean East, to inland areas, such as Cáceres, and Atlantic areas like Galicia. Beyond these visible characteristics, another common connection shared by hanging tomatoes is their selection by peasant communities with the common aim (convergent selection) of enjoying tomatoes during the winter months. The hanging tomato is a type of tomato that, when cultivated in strict non-irrigated systems or with low irrigation provisions, is characterised by the fact that, once harvested and stored in certain conditions, it can be conserved for approximately 6 months (sometimes even 9 months) (cf. Figures 1 and 2). This means that if the tomato is harvested in July and August, the fruit can be preserved until at least February of the following year. In fact, traditionally, fruits that have a lower capacity for conservation are consumed fresh, whereas those that keep for longer are used for seeds to plant the next crop season. This type of tomato has a widespread and stable commercialisation, primarily in Catalonia. However, there are other areas, such as Mallorca or Menorca, where it is also highly valued by consumers. It was traditionally destined for consumption out of season, both fresh and when conserved. It even formed part of specific recipes such as romesco sauce. However, the appearance on the market of winter productions grown in greenhouses in regions of Southern Spain, as well as from other warmer countries, has relegated hanging tomatoes to the main geographical areas where the typical ‘pan con tomate’ [‘bread with tomato’] is consumed (cf.
