Spain's Benidorm embraces its Franco-era mass tourism model | AFP

Fifty years after General Francisco Franco’s death, Benidorm still clings to the mass tourism model it pioneered under his dictatorship, even as anti-tourism protests sweep other Spanish holiday hotspots. "The only industry we have is tourism," says hotel owner Angela Barcelo, "there are no car factories or soap factories here." Formerly a village of just 3,000 inhabitants, Benidorm, on Spain’s southern coast, has grown into a city of more than 100 skyscrapers.
