In this work the phenomenon of literary travel is studied. Increasingly, people who travel in the footsteps of an author or a book that fascinated felt. You may think this is due to a fad or is motivated by a misunderstanding fetishism, but just read some of the beautiful texts of Claudio Magris, Cees Nooteboom, Gregor von Rezzori, Nuria Amat, César Antonio Molina or Mauricio Wiesenthal to understand that it is a misperception. Nor is it a new phenomenon. When Federico García Lorca is touring with La Barraca by Galicia, insists on going to Padrón to visit the house where he died Rosalia de Castro, at the time turned into a lumberyard. Some years earlier, in 1905, came Azorin do walk the route of Don Quixote. In 1890, American journalist Nellie Bly had intended to follow in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg and go around the world in eighty days not like the famous character of Jules Verne, but seventy-two. When Dostoyevsky and his brother Mikhail first arrive to St. Petersburg in 1837, one of his first outings, as reported by Henri Troyat was to go on pilgrimage to the place where Pushkin had fought a duel, and then went to visit the old house the poet and the room where he died. Indeed, we can place in the early decades of sigloxix when some writers (as Walter Scott and William Wordsworth) become, for the first time in history, media and, linked to this star, the readers interest arises from know the places where their lives were spent.
