The development of residential tourism has brought about fundamental changes in the Mediterranean regions. Researchers have focused their attention on the aspects related to the material culture and the social structure. Therefore, most of the research emphasises the analysis of urban dynamics, the socioeconomic profile of the tourists and the protagonists of the different types of residential mobility, the ecological impacts, or the changes in the demographic structures. We acknowledge the necessity and importance of this research, but would like to regain the central value of non-material culture as an explanatory factor. Following E. Laclau's political theory of discourse, we identify and analyse the characteristics of the main ideological stances that are nowadays competing to achieve a hegemonic position in the residential-tourism system of Mediterranean societies. Our fieldwork, based on 37 in-depth interviews and 6 focus groups, allowing us to identify which social actors are associated with the most vehement viewpoints and what is the logic behind these.

The article deals with the results of the standing of the Spanish Ombudsman in order to bring actions of constitutionality, and those to defend human rights, before the Constitutional Court. After a complete review of the decisions of this Court, in which, some way or another, the Ombudsman has taken part, a critical reflection is made on the influence this institution has exerted through these tools, and what the consequences have been for the constitutional system as a whole.
