Abstract	The present work carries out an analysis about the relationships between body and food that appear in the Spanish beata Sor Juana de la Cruz’s (1481-1534) work and biography. The following investigation starts with two bibliographic referents: on the one hand, the work of Caroline Walker Bynum, Holy Feast and Holy Fast, that analyzes the relationships between body and food in the lives and writings of different European medieval visionaries; on the other hand, the recent study of Sanmartin Bastida, La representacion de las misticas: Sor Maria de Santo Domingo en su contexto europeo, which contextualizes Sor Maria and other Peninsular religious within a European visionary movement. The main purpose of our analysis is to increase our knowledge about the construction of Sor Juana de la Cruz’s identity as a visionary in order to expand the field of study on the relationships between the Peninsular female communities and the European ones at the end of the Medieval Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance
