Abstract


The article focuses on a very little explored subject to date, within the field of travel literature: the description of Wallachia, made by Diego Galán. Only one article has been published until today on this topic. His author was Alejandro Ciorãnescu and the article was published 50 years ago. Our study intends to provide a different analysis of the text, throughout a double, historical and philological perspective that contributes to understand better the creation and integration of the Romanian space and culture to the Spanish collective imaginary.
