The beginning of the Christian occupation of the municipal district of Holguera dates to the early thirteenth century. By the mid-fifteenth century, its agricultural lands had expanded to their current limits, and come to incorporate a significant proportion of non-local property. Towards the end of the fifteenth century, Holguera’s farmlands were organized into lots that absorbed both locally-held property and non-local property, the latter being acquired by means of emphyteutic censuses. This resulted in the effective disappearance of private property within Holguera’s cereal fields, which were cultivated as allotments whose annual bestowal was linked to the possession of oxen.
