The Peaceful Invasion: Tourists and Franco's Spain / Sasha D. Pack

 “Starting in the 1950s, the successive Franco governments began to give special emphasis to the promotion of tourism, as a form of reverse propaganda, “so that foreigners visit us and tell the truth about Spain”. In addition, their currencies served to balance the trade deficit, endemic Spanish bad during those years. Thus began an era of wild construction, cheap tourism and Spain is Different.”
