The continuous population decline in the second half of the 20th century is mainly due to the mechanization of agriculture and the associated loss of jobs.
economy
For centuries, the inhabitants lived mainly as self-sufficient farmers from agriculture, which also included a little cattle-raising (sheep, goats, chickens) and, to a lesser extent, viticulture. Any surpluses generated could be sold in the markets of Medina del Campo.
history
In the 8th century the area was conquered by the Moors . In the 10th century, the united Leonese-Castilian armies under the leadership of the Castilian Count Fernán González conquered the depopulated areas south of the Duero , but the Moorish military leader Almansor destroyed the successes again at the end of the 10th century. After the final reconquest ( reconquista ) by Alfonso VI. at the end of the 11th century the almost deserted area was repopulated; the place Ataquines belonged to the Kingdom of León . After previous attempts, León finally united with the Kingdom of Castile in 1230 . The place experienced its heyday in the late Middle Ages and in the early modern period.
