Mundo Hispánico (Spanish: Hispanic World) was a monthly cultural and political magazine which existed between 1948 and 1977. The subtitle of the magazine was La revista de veintitrés países (Spanish: The Twenty-Three Country Magazine) which indicated the fact that it did not only target readers in Spain, but also those in Latin America.[1] It was one of the publications which supported the Francoist rule.[2]
