The significant population decline in the 20th century is mainly due to the mechanization of agriculture and the associated loss of jobs.
economy
The farming on the fertile clay and loess soils of the Tierra de Campos and the keeping of small livestock (especially chickens) formed the livelihood of the self-sufficient population of the region for centuries ; Mules and donkeys were kept as draft and pack animals. Produced food surpluses could hardly be sold in the urban markets because of the great distances.
history
In pre-Roman times the region belonged to the settlement area of the Celtic tribe of the Vaccaeans ; Later came the Romans and Visigoths and in the 8th century the area was overrun by the Moors - however, all four cultures have left little archaeologically usable traces in the formerly possibly forested area. Already in the 9th century Asturian-Leonese army conquered the areas north of the Duero back ( reconquista ) . At the end of the 10th century, the Moorish military leader Almansor temporarily wiped out the Christian successes, but in the 11th century the Kingdom of León expanded its territory again to the Duero border. The region was repopulated ( repoblación ) . After previous attempts, León finally united with the Kingdom of Castile in 1230 , but disputes occurred again and again in the period that followed. The place experienced its heyday in the late Middle Ages and in the early modern period.
