Surfing across the internet, in search of scientific articles for a completely different class, I ran across this very interesting Spanish Web site that includes useful articles offering information about almost all possible fields of investigation. The site may come in handy, regardless of whether you want to find further information of your area of interest of just looking to expand your general knowledge.

On the topic of tourism, I could find, at the time of the present post, 217 articles, including a glossary of tourism terms, articles on tourism management, on eco-tourism, on how to design a tour, and many others on very specific issues in Spain and Latin American countries.
