ABSTRACT

As recently as 1993, Carmen Bel questioned whether Spain had even minimal development in the field of social geography: despite the fact that certain authors (for ideological reasons) and texts (due to their conceptual focus) demonstrated a concern for social phenomena, a social vision of the complete range of topics related to human geography has never materialized in Spain. Nor has social geography ever been understood as a potential driver of epistemological change in human geography, reorientating human geography’s underpinnings as with the cultural turn in Anglo-American geography, for example.
