  • Tourist Accommodation Diffusion in the Balearics, 1936-2010
    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 9, No. 2, 2014, pp. 239-258 Tourism capitalism and island urbanization: tourist accommodation diffusion in the Balearics, 1936-2010. Antoni Pons Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] Onofre Rullán Salamanca Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] & Ivan Murray Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Balearic Islands are one of the main tourism regions in Europe, and tourism has been the structural capitalist activity of urban growth there since the 1950s. Mapping tourist accommodation in the Balearics might help spatially explain the important socio-spatial transformation of a small archipelago in the Western Mediterranean. This paper analyses the diffusion of tourist accommodations as the main vehicle for urbanization since the 1950s. The tourism production of space has gone in parallel to economic cycles with particular urban expressions related to the different regimes of accumulation. Over time, as access to sea, air, and road transport, availability of investment capital, and institutional support has changed, so too have the directions of urban tourism development in the islands. Keywords : Balearic Islands, diffusion, economic cycles, Spain, tourism, tourist accommodation maps, urbanization © 2014 - Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Urbanization occurs differently on different kinds of islands. Islands specializing in tourism services may feature distinctive urbanization patterns due to the dynamics of this particular industry, which involves a coincidence between spaces of production and consumption. The spatial factors affecting islands play a variety of roles here, both increasing the amount of coastline (which has proven so attractive to mass tourism) and conditioning the means of transport and access to tourism sites.

  • El Poblamiento Rural De Menorca Durante La Antigüedad Tardía: Primera Aproximación
    El poblamiento rural de Menorca durante la Antigüedad tardía: primera aproximación C. Mas, M. Á. Cau, J. M. Gurt, M. Sales RESUMEN A partir de la revisión de los datos contenidos en la Carta Arqueológica de la isla de Menorca se ha llevado a cabo un estudio preliminar sobre la distribución de las poblaciones insulares durante la Antigüedad tardía. El estudio ha permitido documentar todos los yacimientos que presentan presumiblemente evidencias de ocupación en los momentos finales de la Antigüedad y la relación de estos con el territorio. Parece que la mayoría de los yacimientos corresponden a antiguas estaciones indígenas que permanecerían todavía ocupadas o que habrían sido reocupadas durante la Antigüedad tardía, siendo más escasas las perduraciones de fundaciones romanas o las fundaciones tardías de nueva planta. Palabras clave: Antigüedad tardía, mundo rural, arqueología del territorio, patrones de asentamiento, Menorca. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the distribution of the population in Menorca during Late Antiquity. The revision of the available data allows a preliminary study Rev. de Menorca. Tom 90. Vol. I: 177-216. ISSN: 0211-4550 178 C. MAS, M. Á. CAU, J. M. Gurt, M. SALES of the rural settlement in this period. This interim approach shows the sites with signs of occupation and its relationship with the surrounding territory. According to these results, most of the sites were old indigenous nuclei that survive or were reoccupied. Roman foundations surviving into the Late Antique period or sites newly founded at the end of Antiquity are very scarce. Keywords: Late Antiquity, rural world, landscape archaeology, settlement patterns, Minorca.

This period has witnessed extremely important morphological and structural changes, which have also affected the island of Menorca. Increasing numbers of tourists, approval of the Insular Territorial Plan, the subsequent economic crisis and end of the real estate bubble are the main factors conditioning the evolution of Menorca in the past few decades. This paper analyses these three factors in order to study the main transformations that have occurred on Menorca and how they have come to shape the territory today.

    Nicolas, J.C., Sanitja: a Roman Settlement North of Es Mercadal, Festes Majors d’Es Mercadal, 1985, pp. 21-30. “The Balearic Islands, inhabited by people skilled in the use of the sling, were called Gymnesiae by the Greeks. The largest island has a length of 100,000 strides and a perimeter of 475,000. Of its towns, Palma and Pollentia have Roman rights, while Guium and Tucis have Latin rights. Bochorum, which no longer exists, enjoys the right to federation. The smaller island differs from the former in that it measures 40,000 strides across and is 150,000 around. It has the cities of Iamon, Sanisera and Magon.” Caius Plinius. Naturalis Historia, III, 77-78. This description of the Balearic Islands made by Plinius in the mid I century AD is of great value to Menorcan history because, apart from naming two cities, Ciudadela (Iamo) and Mahón (Mago) which were already known through earlier texts, for the first time it identifies a third city – Sanisera – located on the shores of the port of Sanitja to the north of Es Mercadal . A few years ago the link between the ancient name of Sanisera and the present name of Sanitja was recognized. In 1947, the historian A. Garcia Bellido made the statement , in his commentaries on the works of Pomponius Mela and Caius Plinius referring to Hispania, that Sanisera is unknown (Alayor) (1). Years later, Anna María Muñoz, in her study of Greek and Latin sources on the Balearics, commented, in reference to Plinius’s text that where Sanisera is concerned, we have neither data nor, for the moment, know its situation (2) At the end of the XVIII century, Joan Ramis y Ramis had already suggested the similarity between the names of Sanitja and Sanisera in his treatise of the famous text by Plinius in the manuscript used widely by José de Vargas Ponce in his book Descripciones de las islas pithiusas y Baleares published in Madrid in 1787 (3) Ramis’ manuscript used almost literally by Vargas Ponce was published in the Revista de Menorca in 1948.
