Transhumance as Biocultural Heritage in Island Territories
This article analyses contemporary transhumance in Gran Canaria as a singular case of insular pastoralism and biocultural heritage within the Mediterranean and Atlantic contexts. While transhumance has been widely recognised for its ecological, cultural and socio-economic relevance, in Gran Canaria it persists in an especially fragile form, maintained by a small, ageing group of herders. Drawing on an interdisciplinary methodology that combines 3…
Social protection or mirage? Evictions during Spain’s Covid-19 crisis
Since the onset of the real estate crisis in 2008, Spain has experienced a significant rise in evictions, evolving into a major social issue. The emergence of the pandemic precipitated a renewed escalation in this risk. Consequently, social protection measures were implemented to safeguard vulnerable populations. These measures included support for tenants in rental properties and assistance for individuals at risk of mortgage foreclosure. This a…
Neo‐Endogenous Local Development, Tourism, and International Immigration in El Hierro, Spain
This article studies the role of international immigrants on enhancing economic and social diversity in El Hierro, potentially attracting more people, investment, and valorising local communities. It emphasizes the key characteristics of immigrants' entrepreneurs, including their diverse backgrounds as lifestyle/labour immigrants, competence in languages, typically low initial capitalization and often lack of prior entrepreneurial experience. Des…
Islands on the move
This paper examines migration inflows in El Hierro (Canary Islands, Spain) and Pico (Azores, Portugal) and their relationship with tourism. It investigates how immigrants' work-life transitions are linked to tourism involvement, highlighting how migration reshapes the islands' economies. Immigrants contribute to shifting the productive model from pre-tourism structures to economies increasingly dominated by tourism. The analysis concludes that th…
La trashumancia en Gran Canaria
La trashumancia es un modelo de gestión territorial basado en un proceso de aprendizaje adaptativo que se muestra en el conocimiento ecológico acumulado por los ganaderos trashumantes durante generaciones y que configura unos paisajes de altísimo valor patrimonial. El objetivo de nuestro estudio es realizar una radiografía del estado actual de la trashumancia en Gran Canaria, apoyándonos además en su devenir histórico. Esta investigación emplea u…
Transoceanic migration linkages
The intensity of migratory processes has been a characteristic common to many of the Earth's island spaces which, throughout history, have been projected outwards thanks to the special connectivity that originated the voyages of colonization and, later, the processes of globalization of capitalism, among which tourist activity has had a special impact. All this has forged close relations between the island populations and other peoples in distant…
Border control and accident rate of irregular immigration in the route to the Canary Islands (Spain) during the Covid-19 pandemic
Throughout the first decades of the 21st century, the maritime borders of the European Union have witnessed a growing and increasingly complex mobility of an irregular nature. Moreover, the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on many African countries revealed the weakness of the maritime border and its permeability, as well as its increased danger. This research aims to study these irregular migration flows by sea during 2020 and 2021, through the At…
Mapping foreign immigration in Spain (1998–2018). Trends and spatial patterns
The last 20 years of sociodemographic history in Spain cannot be interpreted without considering the impact of foreign immigration, numerous publications have shown. The aim of this article is to contribute a clear spatial representation of migrants in Spain by combining statistical and mapping methods. Maps showing the rate of variation of immigrant populations point to the existence of an uneven distribution around Spain, during both the period…

Beneficio social de los ecomuseos en el territorio. El Proyecto Cultural de Desarrollo Comunitario de La Aldea como caso de estudio
Los ecomuseos tienen el propósito de poner en valor los recursos patrimoniales de un territorio, promoviendo la conservación y la diferenciación identitaria del mismo y sus poblaciones. Se toma como caso de estudio el Proyecto Cultural de Desarrollo Comunitario de la Aldea en la isla de Gran Canaria (Islas Canarias, España), que entre sus actividades dispone de quince radiales museísticos relacionados con los oficios y labores tradicionales. A pa…

Gentrification on the Move. New Dynamics in Spanish Mature Urban-Tourist Neighborhoods
Mature tourism neighborhoods are a valuable laboratory for the study of socio-urban processes. In them, it is possible to analyze the urban transformations and social changes linked to tourism cycles: those corresponding to the stage of tourism involvement, development, and consolidation; those of stagnation and urban decline; and those of tourism rejuvenation and urban rehabilitation. Currently, there are indications of a fourth cycle, where vac…
The ecomuseum as a space for the activation of governance processes. Co-management of heritage in responsible tourism management
An ecomuseum orients its conservation, formation and reproduction of identity and patrimonial tasks based on the proximity to the territory and the population area it serves. This entails a flexible management system that adapts to contextual specificities of this socio-cultural and geographical area, empowering local populations to govern themselves in relation to a common project. This study explores the activation of governance processes in ec…
Foreclosures and Evictions in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria during the Economic Crisis and Post-Crisis Period in Spain
At the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, the number of foreclosures and evictions increased dramatically in Spain. The severe economic situation and the lack of mitigation measures by public institutions seemed to be the main causes. However, the start of a period of economic recovery since 2014 has meant that the number of the evictions continues to increase. In this article, we analyze in detail this phenomenon in the city of Las Palmas…
The recent international emigration of young Spaniards. The emigrants' narrative versus the official and media perception
Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, and especially with the implementation of tight fiscal contrl measures in the public sector, the employment prospects of young Spaniards have worsened substantially. The adverse economic situation has made an increasing number of young people decide to emigrate to countries across the globe, especially Europe and Latin America.
Migration at a Time of Global Economic Crisis
In this paper, we offer an initial assessment of the impact of the economic crisis on Spain's migration flows. After a period of intensive economic growth and the ensuing immigratory appeal (1995–2007), Spain has been hit hard by the recession. This has modified the trends that had so far characterized foreign immigration in Spain. The impact of the economic recession has been particularly severe in the case of immigrant workers and, consequently…
