Abstract: This study analyzes some aspects of the history of the transhumance in the kingdom of Castile during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when this economic activity experienced a certain “boom”, as a result of the fact that the “merino” wool was then increasingly demanded in the European markets. Particular attention is paid to the question of how the transhumant sheep owners provided summer pastures to their flocks, especially in the mountain areas of the Iberian System of Castile. Conflicts between local and foreign sheep owners are described, and finally some contrasts between the northern and the southern sector of the region are analyzed.
