This paper analyzes the economic situation and recent evolution of the Spanish Mediterranean regions. The object is to test, assuming a theoretical definition of economic axis, the existence of a Spanish Mediterranean axis and which regions arc included in it. After analyzing some attributes of regions that define an economic axis, we obtain that high economic growth during the eighties is the only characteristic shared by all of them. Furthermore, we obtain evidence of the existence of common factors that drive the employment evolution in all the considered regions even though the magnitude of their effects is different for some of them.
