AB This  article  analyzes  the  use  of  the  concept  of  the  picturesque  in  Katharine  Lee  Bates’s  travelogue Spanish  Highways  and  Byways  (1900).  By  comparing  Bates’s  text  to  previous  travel narratives, the essay explores how stereotypes written about Spain are challenged and reformulated within the framework of imperial discourse. Bates’s political and ideological agenda attempts to construct an alternative discourse through the use of what I have called the counter-picturesque. The essay contributes to the study of travelogues written by American women and to the field of imagology as related to Spain
