Portugal en los primeros años de La Ilustración Española y Americana (1869-1873)

The article explains which view presents of Portugal, its history and its culture, in LIEA, between 1869 and 1873, in a particularly period of conflict in the Spanish society. The cataloguing of the Portuguese presence in the newspaper allows to glimpse how is seen Portugal in the newspaper (common history and greatness in the past, Portuguese politics today in order to compare it with the own country, stories and anecdotes of travels, inferior customs…), but also, when talking about the other, in a veiled way, we can see how Spain feels with itself (political trouble, feeling of inferiority, resentment over the loss of an own territory….)
