Abstract

The aim of this paper is the analysis of the spacial articulation and its relationships with the structures of power in the Sierra of Madrid -which is an example of other areas of the Transierra- before and alter the Christian conquest of Toledo, through the study oftwo districts: the Tierra de Buitrago and the Real del Manzanares. During the Early Middle Ages, it was a territory out of the andalusí central power’s control and it was organizased by  means of some sites placed on high that structured the space for community livestock use in a hierarchical manner. The feudal dominion brake this system dueto a late colonisation which caused the cre ation of a new site model based on pueblas controlla ted by the concejos and some little places localized along the routes of the seasonal migration of livestock.
