Spain, tourist guides, cultural geography, geography and literatureAbstract
The Catalonian publishing company Destino published a collection of sixteen guides about different regions and cities of Spain.
These guides almost covered the whole country and are an important publishing and geographic legacy of the time.
This type of publications, somewhere between travel books and tourist guides, has not received the praise they deserve.
The quality of the edition, the graphic material and the high standard of most of the authors (Pla, Baroja, Pemán, Ridruejo, Fuster, Martínez Barbeito, Dolores Medio and others) are remarkable.
Furthermore, these guides were published under General Franco´s regime, a circumstance that has rendered them a very valuable set of documents of cultural Geography.
