Spanish miracle

The Spanish Miracle was the name given to the Spanish economic recovery between 1959 and 1969. The national recovery, bolstered by the interior reforms made by the virtual Dictatorship of Francisco Franco, became an excuse to demand mass popularity from a miserable civil population. Althought successful in a degree, the recovery was heavily based on the introduction of foreign products and the opening of Spain as a tourist destination. The miracle could be considered to be the response to the economic crisis of Spain after the Spanish Civil War that the same pro-Franco groups began in 1936.
