This project tries to investigate the sociospacial unfoldings resulting from territorial ordering actions in areas strategically prepared by the State for the reproduction of the real estate-tourism capital through the exploitation of activities related to tourism. The subjection of the territorial ordering to the interests of the capital has promoted in these places many types of conflict involving traditional communities, local citizens, businesspeople and city and state management. Most of these tensions are a result of disputes involving the occupation of urban soil, creating a reality that contradicts the foundation of territorial ordering which, instead of fueling these disputes, must duly settle them through the democratization of the use of tourism spaces. To create our thesis, we concentrate our attention on the reality of the street named ‘Jacaré’, located in the city of Cabedelo, in the Metropolitan Region of João Pessoa-PB. Said street is notably known, nationally as well as internationally, for its exotic natural beauties and the ritualistic event that it holds daily during sunset to the tune of the “Bolero de Ravel” musical piece. Cabedelo City Hall has held in the past few years a series of special interventions in this place, aiming to prepare it for tourism activities. The context presented allowed us to confirm our thesis: the real estate-tourism capital, in the process of appropriation of tourism spaces to maximize its income, operates through determined strategies and under the State’s connivance, fetishizing relations, creating new necessities, merchandizing landscapes, making spectacles out of scenic beauties, expropriating populations and perpetuating social asymmetries.
