Résumé
The aim of this paper is to analyse in the town of Torremolinos the phenomenon of urbanization and recent trends in the development of tourism. Using a set of indicators, we intend to assess if the pressures on the environment are being «rewarded» by the benefits from the tourism industry. The results demonstrate how the utopia of unlimited growth driven by higher socio-economic development, is resulting in a loss to the tourism industry and the destination in general.
