Abstract
The years from the last quarter of the nineteenth century to World War I are one of the key periods in the history of Europe. The idea of progress was intended to summarize everything, and it was also in this environment where modern tourism emerged, but the development of the latter came to be the evolution of the hot springs and sea bathing typical of the preceding bourgeois culture. In the case of Galicia, the hubs of Vigo as industrial center and the neighboring resort of Mondariz stood out as northwest Spain's landmarks in the development of therapeutic leisure from the late nineteenth century, in line with what was happening in the rest of the continent. With this text we intend to approach the reality of Vigo and the Mondariz spa, about thirty-five miles away from each other, from the late nineteenth century, when tourism was promoted as a booming sector through the exploitation of sea bath houses and Mondariz hot springs, which put the location on tourists' map from the early twentieth century.
