Abstract

Adramón, a manuscript romance of chivalry written at the beginning of the 16th century, gives rise to a reflection on the role that cities play in the development of the main character of the work, widely represented and described in the plot line and issues. In addition, the anonymous author’s interest in configuring a realistic literary world marks out a work that finds its foundation in the legacies of medieval travel books which are used by the author to create the urban environment in which the protagonist develops.
