Garcilaso de la Vega: comienzos de su vida errante

Abstract

These pages propose an approach to two key moments in the life of Garcilaso de la Vega, prior to his exile in Naples, that have passed unnoticed by Hispanists and which deserve more attention, as they have been crucial to his awareness as a poet on the stage of Europe. This awareness is directly related to the beginnings of his itinerant life, as messenger, diplomat, military strategist and spy, far from his always longed-for homeland.
