Abstract
This article examines two ways of presenting the Middle Ages, those of the Galician authors Emilia Pardo Bazán and Ramón del Valle-Inclán. Each of them created a mysterious short story which containes a pilgrim as a main or supporting character, but each chose a different way of delineating the figure of the pilgrim and of depicting the world in which he is immersed. Their particular medievalist focus derived from their own aesthetic positions and, ultimately, from their engagement with the contemporary world view. By studying their description of the pilgrim and of daily life, we are able to identify those elements of the past which were most eligible for inclusion in fiction and to establish the meaning of the cultural codification each author carried out.
