Abstract

The deficient road network of the kingdom of Granada was one of the most important factors that conditioned the transport of the southeast of the peninsula during the Modern Age. This paper aims to study the characteristics (i.e demographic and economic profiles) of those who transported goods in Guadix and its land. For this purpose, the documentation of the Catastro del Marqués de la Ensenada has been employed. By that, the structure, composition and size of carriers’ homes, as well as the ownership and regulation of their work. With this work, better knowledge about the different offices of the transport in the region of Guadix is gained, allowing us to determine who formed part of the Real Cabaña de Carreteros, Cabañiles, Jabarderos y Trajineros in Granada.
