At the end of the 17th century, the main foreign textiles imported into Castile through the port of Cadiz were bayetas (43.55%), etamina (14%) and perpetuanas (12.44%), 69.99% of the total. Imports of sagra and lilac, which had dominated the market at the beginning of the century, suffered a considerable decline. These changes in consumption patterns are confirmed by the similar textile products that were imported through the port of Bilbao, where sagra accounted for 0.44%, and the sum of the bayetas and perpetuanas constituted 85.17%. Spanish merchants were one of the main buyers of cloth from England in the early modern period; by the 1480s they accounted for between 10% and 15% of total English exports.
