La real vacada de Aranjuez: una aproximación a las reses del monarca a finales del Antiguo Régimen

The Aranjuez Cultural Landscape's royal cattle farm (real vacada) played a pivotal role in the economic transformation of Spain's Royal Sites during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Originally established to supply butter and milk to the royal court, it evolved into a hub for agricultural and livestock innovation under Carlos III's reign. This study highlights how the real vacada became a model for exploiting the economic potential of these sites, showcasing the integration of royal patronage with progressive farming practices. By analyzing archival records and historical documentation, the research underscores the significance of the Aranjuez landscape in shaping Spain's agricultural heritage and its enduring legacy as part of UNESCO World Heritage.
