This paper is a descriptive study that aims, through presenting some cases of the use of Arabisms or Arabic loanwords in the literary translation from Arabic to Spanish, to determine the function that these fulfill in the translated text. In other words, it aspires to demonstrate if they are the only equivalents of the original word in Arabic or there are other more widely used alternatives, and despite this they have been preferred in the translation to give it an exotic Arabic aspect, especially when it comes to unusual or obsolete Arabic loanwords or these which meanings have changed, and they only keep phonic similarity with the original Arabic words.
