Resumo: The century 1910-2010 represents to Orihuela municipality (SE of Spain) a momentous change that is reflected both in social aspects as in economic. Agriculture, the most determinant factor on wealth, has been pushed into the background in favour of the secondary and tertiary sectors. In this process, tourism has generated an alteration in the traditional distribution of population, which has caused the current antagonism that exists between interior lands and the coast. A group of foreign residents has been encouraged by this urban duality reaching 42,2% of total municipality population.
