This essay offers a comparative approach to the conceptualization of the Coca, a Galician popular mythological dragon, as a Dragón Feo in the book Fragmentos de Apocalipsis by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, focusing on its spatial treatment. With this goal, it analyzes the conception of the mythical creature in Galician tradition and the spatial deconstruction of the dragon that Torrente does in his book, working from the relationship between space, experience and organization of knowledge, following the principles of literary geogprahy and personal geographies established by David Lowenthal.
