The diagrams below show the development of a small fishing village and its surrounding area into a large European tourist resort. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The two plans illustrate how a small coastal village in Europe grew into a large tourist center between 1974 and 2004. It is clear that the main change for 2004 had involved the addition of numerous new constructions. The village would then be able to accommodate a considerably larger number of residents and tourists. Over these thirty years, the local population increased dramatically from only 12000 to 80000, swelling to a possible 130000 during the tourist season. During this period, large numbers of high-rise hotels were built along the coastline on the both sides of the original village. The harbor and coastal woodland were removed by a sandy beach and a golf course for tourists. Similarly, the olive groves inland were replaced with fruit and vegetable farms for the tourist market. The original village and these further inland on the hillside were developed with more homes for the locals and more shops for the tourist trade. A main road leading from the hills to the coast was constructed to cope with the increased traffic to the village.
