First published in Mexico City in February of 1940, España Peregrina only lasted a year and only published ten issues. The first culture-centered magazine published by exiled Spanish intellectuals, the periodical brought together exiled scholars and Latin American contributors that were sympathetic to the Republican cause. From Eugenio Ímaz’s description of bringing forth a clear and cheerful spring to León Felipe’s call to march forward with new faith and hope, contributors signaled that their writing was ascending from the painful loss of the civil war and was building a new Spain.
