Abstract

In this research we have focused on the case of the tourist destination of Magaluf in Mallorca. From the perspective of the anthropology of tourism, we have reviewed the numerous and varied antecedents from a critical perspective, established on the definition of disruptive place, to deepen in second place, in the significance from the experiences of tourists in that journey of escape. Finally, we have concluded on the value of these places to open gaps, on destinations as unique places.
