This study aims to analyze the impact that the pressure of residential and touristic building is
having on coastal areas that have implemented environmental protection, where urbanization and
housing construction are theoretically excluded or contained at least. To understand the true
situation that many Spanish protected areas, especially natural areas in the coastal strip, are living
is essential to emphasize that the substantial increase in superficial extension and in their number,
as well as the new instruments implemented in favor of their protection and management, have
agreed on the time with the peak phase of a spectacular process of urban expansion and housing
construction. Such simultaneity is not a trivial issue, but a conditioning factor of great importance.
This analysis has relied on the use, as essential documents, of the reports drawn by various
government agencies and nongovernmental organizations, in the data arising from public
administrative institutions, legislation and regulation issued on this matter and periodical press at
national and regional levels, whose information is an essential tool to know what the positions and
reactions of Spanish citizens are in such situations.
