]]> The cathedral chapter was of great importance in Cadiz during the Ancien Régime, due both to its economic power and the promotion of worship that they carried out during their ceremonies in the cathedrals. One of the most characteristic signs of the prebendados of Cádiz was the number of family members living in their homes, an average of six people. This indicates that the prebendados often took in relatives in a situation of dependence or need.
This fostering was possible due to the high economic potential of the prebendados, who had both their own income and the income they received for the benefit of their social position, such as the tithe and some properties, making up a sufficient patrimony to sustain the way of life they led. The evolution of the Cádiz chapter’s income depended almost directly on agricultural production, stagnating in the first half of the 17th century and growing again in the second half.

]]> The urban hierarchy of the Canary Islands is greatly influenced by the development of the economic and urban structure, marking the terrain according to the strategic needs of the islands as a whole. The city is established in the places where the representative organs of power decide to settle: the Crown, the Church and the population.
It can be seen in the resource how, from the 17th century onwards, the situation in the Canary Islands changed, with the predominance of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria shifting towards the socio-economic take-off of Tenerife and La Palma. A large number of foreign merchants settled in both, establishing their estates to export wine and manufactured products to America.
Despite this growth, Santa Cruz de La Palma saw its privileged position assured by the settlement of the power groups, controlling from there a large part of the wealth that circulated around the islands in those years.
