RT Journal Article T1 Disentangling the relationship between rurality and tourism from a peripheral rural area of Europe A1 Ruiz Ballesteros, Esteban A1 González Portillo, Auxiliadora K1 Rurality K1 Tourism K1 Dwelling perspective K1 Discourses K1 Practices AB To achieve a more complex understanding of the relationships between tourism and rurality, we need to deeper explore the extent to which tourism is part of the countryside. To do this, it is not enough to focus on how tourism constructs rurality, but rather on how the rural world appropriates tourism and makes it a defining element of rurality. This article illustrates the opportunity of this analytical perspective through an ethnographic case study in Andalusia (Spain) that helps us understand how and why tourism becomes an inherent element of rurality in peripheral rural areas of Europe.
