Abstract

The Poetry Walk –Paseo de la Poesía–, in Bizkaia Campus of the UPV/EHU, is a literary pathway that includes 41 slabs with poems by universal authors in several languages. This article analyses how the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) integrates literary references in this walk to make the campus more attractive. To this end, primary sources linked to the project have been reviewed. This included conducting interviews with key figures involved in the development of the project, as well as consulting different archives and offi cial documentation. Based on the data collected, a descriptive analysis was carried out to explore the origins of the idea, the selection of poems and the difficulties, among other aspects.
