AB In this paper we analyze the representation of space in medieval travel books, examiningthe mythical, sacred and wonderful geography. First, we study the concept of space in theMiddle Ages, reviewing the symbolism and perceptions that are forged with their society.Second, we analyze the mythical, sacred, and wonderful elements in the description of thegeography of European travellers, considering their discourses and narrative intentions.Finally, the travellers describe the space as symbolic constructions in which real andimaginary perceptions merge. Therefore, travellers transmit geographic, historical, andreligious knowledge, which is significant as an expression of their memory and culturalidentity, and with which they define their representation of the world.
