Abstract: (Travels and travelers in Spain: diaries and letters in Romanian) This presentation proposes an analysis of travel narratives in Spain (Théophile Gautier, 1843; Petre Lascu, 1980; Romulus Cioflec, 1988; Radu Bogdan, 1990). Firsthand impressions and observations emerge from this trips, where the journey like Imago Mundi accompanies the clarity, simplicity and modern accuracy in expressing the immediate reality. The chosen path and the awakened fascination of this opportunity determine these enthusiastic writers to opt for the letter or journal to facilitate direct expression. The book of Th. Gautier represented an important precedent in travel journals towards Spain, motivating other authors to travel to sacred places, to take a walk for a certain time through a special geography and culture, to interpret the journey through his personal view. Regarding this subject, in Romanian literature we can distinguish the aphoristic interpretation of Ion Codru Draguşanu (1818-1884), Romanian traveler and memorialist: “Who does not leave the place of his birth does not have the idea of homeland; it is like the man in the middle of the forest; one can’t see the forest for the trees”.
