Rafael García Serrano

Rafael García Serrano (11 February 1917 – 12 October 1988) was a Spanish writer and journalist who held a Falangist ideology. As a teenager he joined the Spanish Falange and participated as a combatant on the Nationalist side in the Spanish Civil War.

Throughout his career he worked with multiple media outlets, writing novels themed around the Spanish Civil War and travel diaries. Serrano had an active role during the Franco dictatorship, overseeing operation of Arriba España, the official newspaper of the Falange.
