]]> In the mid-18th century in the interior of Spain, the nuclear family model (parents and children) predominated, with sporadic extended models (parents, children and close relatives). In terms of age, 20% of all resident relatives were over 50 years old. If we add sex to this variable, 85.2% were women and 14.7% were men. Among the women, the mother figure stood out considerably, followed by the mother-in-law. From the distance between the two, it can be deduced that their presence was oriented towards care and household tasks. For their part, the presence of cousins, aunts or sisters-in-law was testimonial; the same was true of the men. Thus, the profile of the relatives according to sex, age and kinship denotes a tendency towards temporariness in the household, a temporariness that in no way reflects structural behavioural patterns.
