Spain, 19th Century, 20th Century, Travel Books, Historical-Artistic HeritageAbstract
With this paper we study the itineraries that foreign travelers made through the monuments of Madrid, Toledo and Seville. For this purpose, we have selected a total of twenty-nine travel books belonging to the American Geographical Society Library of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee published between the mid-nineteenth century and the middle of the following century. The behavior of travelers from different periods is analyzed in order to know the most touristically consolidated Spanish monuments, the artistic styles preferred and the artistic terminology used. The relevance of the promenades, streets, and the Prado Museum in Madrid, of the medieval works in Seville and Toledo, the lack of appreciation of the neoclassical architecture and the absence of certain monuments are observed.
