La producción del espacio turístico en El Molinar de Levante (Mallorca) (The Production of Tourist Space in El Molinar De Levante (Mallorca))

The City of Palma, in Mallorca, represents one of the main destinations in the Spanish Mediterranean, so new spaces are incorporated to allow for tourist expansion. Such is the case of the old El Molinar neighborhood, which has undergone severe urban reconversion processes to create territories dedicated to consumption. The objective of this article is to account for the gradual process of reconfiguration of space, deepening the socio-spatial manifestations and the attempts to remodel its seaport. As a methodological theoretical reference, the Production of Space by Henri Lefebvre was used. It is concluded that the production of tourist space in El Molinar has triggered various alterations in the social fabric and in the urban structure of the neighborhood, product of a State-capital duality to incorporate it into the global tourism market as an elitist consumption space.
