Abstract
El Correo de Ultramar. Parte Literaria e Ilustrada Reunidas (1853-1886) was published in Paris by Spanish editors and designed to be distributed in Latin America. This journal brought together an important set of texts on travel literature with different formats that approached multiple destinations. The present article studies this periodical as a repository of the travel literary genre. It focuses on journeys throughout Spain, using them as an example of the identity negotiations that took place at the time due to geopolitical changes. The travels around the Iberian Peninsula led the reader to cities and landscapes of exceptional national significance, further strengthening the imagined community. Concurrently, this literature disseminated a positive image of the country that deviated from the cliché perpetuated by foreign visitors. These texts portrayed a territory with a glorious past and notable advancements, where modern tourism started to emerge.
