So, the aim of this research is to determine what has been the behavior or Spanish tourism. For that purpose, data from the 100 most popular destination in Spain was caught, trying to find the most resilient areas as well as the tourism typologies that have best resisted this crisis taking into account the 2019/2020 variation of traveler and their overnights stays.
