Usage Note

Narración refers to the act or product of narrating — a spoken or written account. In literary studies it distinguishes the narración (discourse-level telling) from the historia (the underlying events). The related noun narrativa means 'narrative fiction' or 'narrative style' more broadly, while narración is tied to a specific act or text.
