This paper aims to provide a synthesis of a number of articles that over the last few years have explored the industrialization process in Spain from the perspective of the new economic geography (NEG). To this end, we present some of the seminal theoretical papers of the NEG literature from which originated the main theoretical predictions that have been tested through empirical analysis applied to the case of Spain. We also look at those papers on the economic history of Spain that—through the use of an economic geography framework—have analysed how the location and regional concentration of manufacturing has evolved over the years. Altogether, this paper aims not only to present the determinants of the industrial map of Spain, but also to highlight the positive externalities that stem from the interaction between the NEG and economic history, showing the usefulness of a cliometric approach based on economic theory and empirical testing to give us a more detailed knowledge of the past.

本文旨在提供一些文章的综合，这些文章在最近几年中从新经济地理学（NEG）的角度探讨了西班牙的工业化过程。为此，我们介绍了NEG文献的一些开创性的理论论文，从中得出了主要的理论预测，这些理论预测已通过对西班牙案例的经验分析得到了检验。我们还查看了有关西班牙经济史的那些论文，这些论文通过使用经济地理框架进行了分析，这些年来，制造业的位置和区域集中度如何演变。总而言之，本文的目的不仅在于介绍西班牙工业版图的决定因素，而且还着重强调NEG与经济历史之间相互作用产生的积极外部性，
