This is the first study of a transhumant cattle-raising community
in Spain. Transhumance is the seasonal moving of livestock to
another region. This book shows the social and economic factors
upon which the continued vitality of this mountain village is
based: the use of communal summer pastures; the transhumant groups
which walk the cattle to the winter pastures over the mountains;
and the system of taking turns for many tasks within the village.
The book analyses the sharp divisions between the more rigid
organization of life within the village, and the organization of
life outside the village in the transhumant group which goes to the
winter pastures in Extramadura.
