Evolución del paisaje y aprovechamientos económicos en la falda de la sierra cordobesa (Siglos XIII-XV).

A detailed analysis of historical records reveals that the landscape at the foot of the Sierra Cordobesa, long assumed to be primarily dedicated to extensive livestock grazing, was actually a diversified agricultural zone during the 13th to 15th centuries. This area, home to significant historical sites like the ruins of Madinat al-Zahra (Córdoba la Vieja), supported not only pastures but also olive groves, vineyards, and gardens that played a crucial role in supplying Córdoba's markets during the Late Middle Ages. The study challenges traditional narratives by leveraging documentary sources to reconstruct a more complex economic landscape, highlighting its multifaceted contributions to the region's subsistence and trade.
