description This article aims to reflect on the characteristics and issues of coastal cities that rely on summer tourism centered around sun and beach services. Specifically, it focuses on understanding the effects of the seasonality of economic activity on the inhabited landscape. To do so, it takes a case study: the city of Villa Gesell located on the Atlantic corridor of the province of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Since its foundation in the thirties, this city has exploited its scenic resources to live exclusively from the tourist services it offers to Argentine vacationers. With forty thousand permanent residents, Villa Gesell ranks as the second summer destination in the country and receives around one and a half million tourists between December and March. Applying an etnographical approach that considers spatial and temporal movements, the research seeks to make its main contributions regarding the historical, economic, cultural, urban, and material particularities of the Atlantic seaside cities in the province of Buenos Aires.

Este artículo se propone reflexionar sobre las características y problemáticas de las ciudades costeras que viven de un turismo estival anclado en los servicios de sol y playa. En particular, se focaliza en comprender los efectos que produce la estacionalidad de la actividad económica sobre el paisaje habitado. Para hacerlo, toma un caso de estudio: la ciudad de Villa Gesell ubicada sobre corredor atlántico de la provincia de Buenos Aires, en Argentina. Esta ciudad –desde su fundación en los años treinta– ha explotado sus recursos paisajísticos para vivir exclusivamente de los servicios turísticos que ofrece a los veraneantes argentinos. Con cuarenta mil habitantes permanentes, Villa Gesell se posiciona como el segundo destino estival del país y recibe cerca de un millón y medio de turistas entre los meses de diciembre y marzo. Desde un enfoque etnográfico que atiende a los movimientos espaciales y temporales, la investigación busca realizar sus principales contribuciones sobre las particularidades históricas, económicas, culturales, urbanas y materiales de los balnearios atlánticos de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre as características e os problemas das cidades litorâneas que vivem do turismo de verão ancorado em serviços de sol e praia. Em particular, ele se concentra em entender os efeitos da atividade econômica sazonal na paisagem habitada. Para isso, o estudo toma um caso: a cidade de Villa Gesell, localizada no corredor do Atlântico, na província de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Desde sua fundação, na década de 1930, essa cidade tem explorado seus recursos paisagísticos para viver exclusivamente dos serviços turísticos que oferece aos turistas argentinos. Com quarenta mil habitantes permanentes, Villa Gesell está posicionada como o segundo destino de verão do país e recebe cerca de um milhão e meio de turistas entre os meses de dezembro e março. A partir de uma abordagem etnográfica que enfoca os movimentos espaciais e temporais, a pesquisa pretende fazer suas principais contribuições sobre as particularidades históricas, econômicas, culturais, urbanas e materiais dos balneários atlânticos da província de Buenos Aires.
