Abstract
The Spanish refugees sailed the Caribbean Sea pursuing their fate. The Spanish Republican Exiles became frequent lecturers, gave curses and used to take part in seminars and exhibitions all over the three Hispanic Antilles. The Republican Proffesionals went first to Dominican Republic, proceeding then to Porto Rico and Cuba, sometimes acting as visiting professors, some other times just making a break in their run away looking for a better life. Their lives tell us about a chapter of the pilgrimage of this group of intellectual people. The letters they wrote tell us about their journeys, their lives and the lectures they gave, inform us about their emotions and confidences and take us back to the seas that these people felt as their seas.

Summary
Como se ha indicado en otro lugar (Naranjo Orovio, 1987, 521-543), la llegada de refugiados españoles a la República Dominicana, que entonces presidía el dictador Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, tuvo un contexto internacional favorable por las negociaciones que se iniciaron en Evian en 1938, a instancias del presidente norteamericano Roosevelt, para resolver fundamentalmente el problema de los refugiados judíos expulsados de Europa por la persecución nazi. Encontramos una carta de Alfredo Matilla, como presidente de Izquierda Republicana en Santo Domingo, a Rafael Supervía, representante de la Junta Española de Liberación, donde hacía patente su solidaridad con el manifiesto que habían hecho al Presidente de la República Dominicana pidiendo la ruptura de relaciones con el régimen de Franco en 1944, en tanto que un año después tuvo que expresar públicamente no estar involucrado en maquinaciones contra el orden público y el gobierno dominicano, declarando que su única preocupación política se refería al porvenir de España. Al cabo de ocho años de labor intensa, encontrarse de refugiado con esos años más y muchísimo menos optimismo”
