Sumario:Friendship associations were once important transnational actors in East-West relations. In Spain, the <em>Asociación Guillermo Humboldt para el Conocimiento y la Amistad entre España y la República Democrática Alemana</em> (Wilhelm Humboldt Association for Knowledge and Friendship between Spain and the German Democratic Republic) was founded in 1979, which, in connection with the <em>Liga für Völkerfreundschaft</em> of the gdr, was intended to serve as an instrument of propaganda and informal diplomacy. The main aim of this article is to examine the <em>Liga für Völkerfreundschaft</em>'s propaganda activities in Spain, the role played by the Wilhelm Humboldt Association and its limitations. It uses Spanish and German sources and makes a comparative exercise with similar organisations linked to the Soviet Union.
