Travels and mythical cities

Authors: Álvaro Baraibar, Martina Vinatea

The Biblioteca Áurea Digital (BIADIG) (Digital Golden Library (BIADIG)), part of GRISO’s digital publications, has an extraordinary new book. This is the volume edited by Martina Vinatea and Álvaro Baraibar Viajes y ciudades míticas  (Travels and mythical cities). The topics covered are various: chronicles, travel books, holiday relation (descriptions of feasts), history of the Church (more precisely of the religious orders), as well as the imaginary worlds that shaped our vision of America. We present the volume:

This book, thoughtful reader, is a pilgrimage through the vast territories of the imagination, the same that defined the borders of Cuzco, Lima, Quito, La Paz, Bogota and all America envisioned in the Spanish for the rest of the world.
