This paper deals with the role of the public works in the construction of the image of Spain in the Modern Age. To do so, important source used will be travel literature. From the XVIII century, public works have been considered as a sign of progress. They have been a way to measure the progress or the delay of a country; however, sometimes it has also happened the other way round: the opinion given of a country has influenced the analysis of their infrastructures. This work explores the opinions of the travellers about the public works and the interesting connections between their opinions and their idea of Spain.
