Resumo
This article discusses convergences between tourist guides to Santiago de Compostela and novels set in the same city in the period, 1854–1915. It deals specifically with novels about college life, of which the best-selling La casa de la Troya (Pérez Lugín, 1915) is the outstanding example. In the analysis, the notion of ‘undercover guide’, on the one hand, and ‘autoethnographic fiction’, on the other, are of particular importance. The aim is to link this specific form of novelistic fiction with the modern emergence of the tourist vision of culture and place, thereby showing how these connections can reveal crucial mechanisms of a particular literary field
