Abstract

This article raises the study of the evolution of road movie in Spanish cinema through three phases: Francoist Roads (1955-1975), in which some elements of the genre appear but the survival of the dictatorship prevents the creation of an image of the road as a space for individual search and reaffirmation; Roads towards Democracy (1975-1982), period in which the first road movies are released; and Democratic Roads (from 1982 to nowadays), which includes the evolution of Spanish cinema on the road (boom from the second half of the 90s and development in different thematic lines or subgenres).
