Abstract
El aceite era uno de los cultivos más
productivos en la Baja Andalucía durante
la Edad Moderna debido a su múltiple
aplicación. No sólo se dirigía al consumo
de boca y demás usos domésticos, sino que
tenía un uso industrial en las almonas de
jabón y los lavaderos de lana. Era esta última
circunstancia la que lo hacía depender
de las necesidades de las pañerías interiores
y exteriores y de las circunstancias de
la política exterior, con sus secuencias de
prohibiciones, secuestros y permisos. En
este trabajo estudiamos la evolución del
olivar en el Reino de Sevilla durante el citado
período, y sus diversos ritmos internos.
La inversión del capital urbano en el
campo fue produciendo la concentración
de la propiedad y la evolución del paisaje
gracias no sólo a los nuevos plantíos sino
también a la edificación de nuevas haciendas
de olivar, con su airoso perfil de torres
y miradores.
Oil was one of the most productive crops in Lower Andalusia during the modern era due to its multiple uses. It was not only destined to its consumption and other domestic uses, but had an industrial use in soap factories and wool washing places. It was this latter circumstance that made it dependent on the needs of the inner and outer draperies and on the circumstances of foreign policy, with its sequences of prohibitions, seizures and permissions. In this paper, we study the evolution of the olive grove in the Kingdom of Seville during the aforementioned period, and its various internal rhythms. Urban capital investment in the countryside produced the concentration of ownership and the evolution of the landscape, thanks not only to the new plantings but also to the building of new olive farms, with their graceful profile of towers and viewpoints.
