This paper approaches historically the issue of geopolitical statehood consolidation of the territory of Guerrero in Mexico. It is assumed that space is produced within a temporal dimension by means of man’s action throughout history. Human society shapes space and defines it on the basis of its own needs and deeds and its perception of resources, a conception which is redefined by any new particular culture. All states making up the Mexican republic exhibit a set of particular features. In the case of the state of Guerrero its singularity depends on its own conditions: it was the site of pre-Columbian cultures structured around a network of trails, endowed with a coast line that favored in colonial times the development of Asiatic trade and currently are the natural resource and scenery on which tourism has been raised to the place of one of the most important economic activities of the state.
