Abstract

Since 1915, battlefields of the Great War have been perceived in France as a new tourist market and its growing exploitation from 1919 has inspired other European states impacted by the conflict, like Mussolini’s Italy, until 1939. Its development has generated benefits in the devastated regions, after almost five years of warfare. In this wake, Franco exploits the “still burning tracks” of the civil war to inaugurate the War Routes in 1938, in order to generate foreign exchange and propaganda for the New State that Cook relayed in 1939. Rodriguez’s paper studies the development of war tours in Franco’s Spain during the civil war and postwar, inspired by the 1914–1918 conflict’s tourism model, as suggested by the historian Sandie Holguín, which had become a successful travel genre in the 1930s. It analyzes continuities and discontinuities between the two modi operandi.
