El real viaje Real / The Real Royal Trip's theme takes its historical reference from Columbus's fourth journey to the New World, during which he traveled from Spain to the Caribbean islands and the coast of Latin America. From the outset, the journey was plagued by conflict: Columbus and his crew encountered malaria, hostile natives, and a hurricane. Nevertheless, the contact between Spain and America that was initiated eventually led to great transcultural exchange. Curator Harald Szeemann views this exhibition as the "real" royal trip: El real viaje Real/The Real Royal Trip is "a celebration, in this contemporary trip of art, pleasure, and adventure."
