Abstract
Rural Geography is presented as the branch of the discipline with the greatest historical tradition in Spain. Its development was due to the enormous influence of the French School, of Vidalian origin, in our country and to the need that the geographers of the first Franco regime had to define a neutral profile, markedly academic in regional and landscape studies. I cough this up in the face of attempts to exploit geography by the authoritarian regime of the time. For decades, practically until 1980s, most of the geographical theses presented in Spain included rural content. Since that decade, the development of urban, geomorphological, geoeconomic or tourism studies, among others, has turned Rural Geography into another branch of our discipline. This has allowed it to evolve towards greater methodological and thematic diversity, update its contents and gradually detach itself from the French hegemony when it comes to undertaking its investigations.
