Abstract
Through different stages and contexts from its original establishment at the end of the nineteenth century, Torrevieja has become a sun and beach resort based on a huge range of vacation houses and second homes. By this fact it is perceived as one of the most significant resorts in the Spanish Mediterranean Coast. Implementing an evolutionary perspective and according to several information sources, stages and processes of transformation that take place are identified, closely related to real state sector. For the purpose of carrying out an overall interpretation and outline future guidelines, Path Dependence Theory is applied. This method allow us to systematize key stages and decoding the main model charasteristics.
