In much of the existing research concerning  Aljamiado  literature, we can observe attempts to assign individual texts or even the whole corpus unequivocally to a Spanish or Arabic/Islamic tradition. However, these attempts fail to adequately address the specificities of these texts and sometimes actively obscure important connections. This can be shown through an analysis of the  Coplas del Alhichante de Puey Monzón , a pilgrimage narrative in verse from the sixteenth century that has so far mostly been seen as a continuation of the Arabic  riḥla . This paper provides an overview of the history, past research and editions, and poetical form of the text, as well as a proposed date for its production, followed by a detailed analysis concerning its possible function which serves as a basis for comparing it to pilgrimage narratives from the Arabic/Islamic tradition and its Spanish/Christian counterparts. Contrary to what is usually assumed, the  Coplas  have more in common with the latter than with Arabic  riḥla  texts. They can therefore be interpreted as a product of a cultural “contact zone” as defined by Mary Louise  Pratt . Rather than merely trying to preserve their Islamic heritage and passively receiving Christian influence,  Mudéjares  and Moriscos actively participated in contemporary developments in Spanish literature and used them for their own ends.
