The aim of this article is to study the meaning of the marine setting in the Castilian chivalric romances. We also analyse the importance of sea voyages in these fictions, the absence of a realistic and detailed description of these journeys, and how these function as a transition between adventures, or as a separation between cultures and realities. We will draw evidence from two scenes taken from the Tirante el Blanco (1511) and Lepolemo (1521).
