The Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes is a digital library offering free access to a broad collection of works in Spanish and other languages. Described as the first virtual library in the Spanish language, it brings together materials in literature, history, science, and other fields, alongside research resources and catalogues of libraries around the world. Visitors can search by title, author, or content and explore collections organized by subject and institution.

Its holdings include literary works, archives, periodicals, images, videos, and audio, as well as biographies, chronologies, scholarly editions, and information about authors and cultural institutions. Dedicated areas cover Spanish and Latin American literature, language, history, art, children’s and young adult literature, and regional collections such as the Biblioteca Joan Lluís Vives and Biblioteca das Letras Galegas. The site also highlights specialist resources, including a collection on Spanish classical theatre, and publishes recommended works, articles, research, and cultural news. Through its online catalogues and curated collections, the library supports readers, researchers, educators, and anyone interested in Spanish-language literature and heritage.
