The phylloxera crisis in viticulture and later the mechanization of agriculture as well as the abandonment of small farms have led to a lack of jobs since the 1950s and, as a result, to an emigration of a large part of the population to the cities ( rural exodus ).

economy

For centuries, the region was dominated by agriculture almost exclusively for the purpose of self-sufficiency ; Animal husbandry and viticulture were also of great importance . Long-life or preserved food such as grain , cheese , sausage, etc. could be bartered or sold at the markets in Aranda de Duero; the region's wine was shipped to Central and Northern Europe. The community is now part of the Ribera del Duero wine region .

history

Finds from the Celtic , Roman , Visigothic and even Islamic-Moorish times have not yet been made in the municipality. Already towards the end of the 9th century the area was recaptured ( reconquista ) and repopulated ( repoblación ) by Diego Rodríguez Porcelos (ruled 873-885), the second count of Castile and founder of Burgos . The first written mention of the place name comes from the years 912 and 1048; later the place was under the manor (señorio) of the Alcocer family for centuries .
