The construction and housing sector has been very important in Spain, and was an exceptional case of growth of the economy in the country up to 2007, when the world crisis began and the Spanish economy fell sharply. The main characteristics, data, and a diagnostic of the process before and during the crisis are analysed in this paper. Andalucia, a Spanish autonomous region where the phenomenon has been especially severe, is discussed in depth. The methodology is based on the application of some statistical indicators at provincial and regional scale and the results are presented using cartographic methods to test their incidence in the territory. Finally, the discussion focuses on the places where the phenomenon is more significant. To this regard, it is possible to confirm that territories where the construction sector was more intensive until 2007 are the areas most affected by the crisis, and that there are risks that this process might start over in the future.
