]]> Collaborative blog of IES Miguel Catalán to celebrate the IV Centenary of Miguel de Cervantes where different topics are explained. Among them, we have this short article about the different means of transport in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. With the beginning in the 16th century of the post office service linking the places where the Spanish Court resided with the main European urban centres, this post office service was extended to other Spanish cities. The conditions of the terrain and other conditioning factors such as the capacity of the horses would play an important role in the development of what we can call the first “taxis” in history.

]]> The Army of Flanders is considered to be the army that the Spanish Monarchy established to defend the territories of the Spanish Netherlands from 1516 until the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. After the signing of this Treaty, in addition to putting an end to the War of Succession, the Monarchy lost control of its dominions in Flanders.
