Summary
Between 2010 and 2019, the exponential growth of tourist apartments in Cáceres' historic center reshaped its housing landscape. This surge in short-term rentals coincided with a decline in traditional accommodations, while also sparking controversy among residents. The study confirms that this trend has driven both rehabilitation efforts and functional reconfiguration within the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Cáceres, highlighting the dual impact of tourism on heritage conservation and local communities.
