Within the Spanish nationalist imaginary developed at the end of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century, Latin America and the incipient Hispanic-American movement acquired a significant specific weight, until they became a fundamental element of both internal consolidation and external projection. For the crown and the Spanish elites, the policies of memory and the updating of the past became essential vectors when generating positive synergies to attract adhesions and loyalties to the nationalizing project. The purpose of the article is to examine the role of the monarch, Alfonso XIII, within the Hispanic movement developed on both sides of the Atlantic during his reign. To this end, it analyzes the royal visits of Alfonso XIII to territories in present-day Andalusia, his connections with the Spanish Americanist movement and his hypothetical projections of the consolidation of the Spanish nationalist imaginary through a fresh look at America.

Keywords : Alfonso XIII; monarchical nationalism; Spanish Americanism; royal visits.
