Abstract

This chapter aims at studying how Spanish and French guides, brochures and travel writings continued to promote the trip to Spain during the civil war and the first Francoist period. It is worth highlighting the role of this literature in the construction of a national history narrative written from the inside and from the outside. Indeed, in addition to proposing lists of monuments to visit and itineraries to follow, this genre used to include a few pages dedicated to the history of the place visited. Galant’s paper first analyzes the editorial panorama of the publications related to the trip both countries mentioned, France being a country with a long and strong tradition of the “voyage to Spain”. Then, it studies the range of postures one can find in the historical discourse, as well as the strategies used to follow it, presenting the country as an attractive touristic destination, both for domestic and international tourism.
