GIJON JIMENEZ, Verónica. The image of Toledo in argentinian travel literature: Lilia Rañó de Petracchi and other travellers of her time. An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2016, vol.46, n.1, pp.65-76. ISSN 2362-2024.

Domingo Faustino Sarmiento visited Spain in 1846 during a trip around Europe. After his return he wrote down his experiences in a book titled Trips to Africa, Europe and America, published in 1849. Since then, numerous Argentinian intellectuals and artists have visited Spain and written the tales of their journeys around the country. One of the most visited cities by these travellers was Toledo, where many of them saw a summary of the history of Spain. In this article, the perspective that the Argentinian travellers had of the Tajo capital will be analyzed, with focus on the tale by Lilia Rañó de Petracchi, which has been insufficiently studied.

Palabras clave : travel literature; Argentinian; Toledo; artistic heritage.
