Abstract

Few are the travelers who have left us record of their trips through Mesopotamia, and even fewer women. This is the case of María de las Nieves de Braganza y Borbón, a controversial figure, heroine for some and villain for others. Accompanied by her husband, Alfonso Carlos de Borbón, they traveled around the world, recording all their journeys in travel journals, as would be the case of their travel through Mesopotamian lands on their way to India.
