Abstract
This paper analyzes with a geographical optics the nuclear heritage of southern Spain, which is concentrated in a set of territories that, linked to nuclear energy in different facets, present not a few possibilities for tourism development, which are attempted to identify in this research. These are territories whose strong rural exodus and its consequent depopulation, added to the dismantling of nuclear or uranium extraction activities and the excessive dependence on subsidies and public social assistance, along with the ballast that for the image of these territories , it represents their “nuclear past”, they have halted or suspended projects, that, of course, well focused, could have served to alleviate their current state of strong socio-economic depression and undertake some initiatives for sustainable development. Therefore, this study intends to glimpse the possibilities of generating activities and tourist-recreational products, environmental education, cultural and rural tourism and nature sports tourism that can properly insert these areas into national and international tourist markets, contributing thus to look for complementary formulas of development and generation of income for the rural populations that integrate them.
Keywords: nuclear heritage, rural tourism, tourist potentialities, Southern Spain.
