Abstract

The book Diálogos españoles-árabes ó guía de la conversación mogharbi (Spanish-Arabic Dialogs or Moroccan Conversation Guide) was written in 1860 by Pedro María del Castillo y Olivas and it was dedicated to the soldiers who participated in the war of Africa. Its study reflects that the Arabic used was Algerian and a plagiarism of the book Guide written by Delaporte, in spite of its aim to be addressed to the Spanish Military that occupied Tetouan after the Spanish-Moroccan war. Its Edition is also a reflect of the Africanism Spirit that Spain lived during the 19th.
