GUTIERREZ DOMINGUEZ, María del Mar. The Batalla de Covadonga in Mexico. Imaginary around the Reconquista (1889-1900). Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2016, n.51, pp.37-52. ISSN 0185-2620. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ehmcm.2016.03.002.
The Reconquista and the Batalla de Covadonga are analytical categories which occupy a central role in the Spanish national identity. Although its use is central in Spanish public opinion, and the great historical works that were published in this country during the nineteenth century, is not restricted to this geographical area. During the last decade of the nineteenth century, the 8th September -the Batalla de Covadonga 's anniversary, the event which led to the beginning of the Reconquista- , was widely celebrated by the Spanish community in Mexico city. The analysis of the press produced by this immigrant group shows a speech around these events which, in the course of a decade, added new meanings. The anniversary was also evoked in an annual celebration intended to include the Mexican society, thus introducing these concepts in Mexico's public opinion.
