Sumario:This work proposes a reading of Aballay (1978) by Antonio di Benedetto. The starting point of this reflection is the problem of the gaucho tradition this work interrogates.

On the contrary, a hypothesis is proposed about the mysticism of the protagonist, interpreting his adventures as a sacred experience.
