Abstract

A two part paper, each of which answers to the aims the author has set himself. The first offers some theoretical thinking as to the axis of development concept in itself and, in so doing, details its components (transport infrastructure, the factors governing the locating of enterprises and urban-industrial nuclei) and then that interaction between these that brings into being a distinguishable economic and social entity marked by its own and proper characteristics. In the second part of the paper this theoretical notion is then applied the land communications corridor running from Irún to Aveiro by the Fuentes de Oñoro frontier post and known commonly as the Route of the Portuguese.The route is of easy access and offers a very particular industrial profile all of its own including medium scale demand goods production, a steady demographic growth and the concentrating along it of the greater part of the economic potential of those regions (The Basque Country, Spanish Navarre, Old Castile and Leon and Central Portugal) it crosses.
