Robada

The Robada was a Spanish square measure and was used as a sowing measure . The name is derived from the volume measure Robo , linguistically a variant of the Arabic term Arroba . One Robo Grain should result in a cultivated area from one Robada. The measures were mainly in use in Navarre and were used until the second half of the 19th century.

A Robada was calculated with 898 square meters , so almost 9 ares .

Examples from Pamplona :

1 Robo = 16 Almudas (= 1.758 liters ) = 28.13 liters
1 Robada = 1458 square Varas = 8.985 ares

The Vara (= cubit ) measured 78.5 cm in Pamplona.
