]]> In analysing the presence of the Moors in Madrid, the aim is to contextualise this socio-religious minority numerically and geographically. It is noteworthy that in contrast to other places where the aljamas are disappearing and integrating into each other, in Madrid a certain persistence is documented, making it possible to analyse the geographical movements of the different communities located in the area.
From 1571 onwards, news began to emerge of the arrival of relatively large groups of Moors from Granada who settled in Madrid until their definitive exile. These new residents gradually joined the community of former Mudejars, forming very heterogeneous communities. In spite of this, the former Moors refused to mix with the Grenadians, or if they had to, they avoided their equal status due to certain privileges they enjoyed as a result of their voluntary conversion.
With respect to the map, the efforts of the local authorities to avoid concentrating all the Moriscos in a few streets and thus avoid their concentration in morerías can be seen. On the other hand, this discrimination, together with economic reasons, pushed the poorest Moriscos to settle on the outskirts of the city, far from the traditionally Mudejar neighbourhoods in previous years.

]]> The resource shows the geographical mobility of the servants to rural towns such as Jorquera and Casas Ibáñez, in the current province of Albacete. During the years of the Cadastre of the Ensenada, the basic mobility was registered in servants coming from the region of the State of Jorquera, where both municipalities are located. In a radial fashion, the further away from the interior, the less strong the power of attraction; thus the province of Cuenca and the Kingdoms of Valencia and Murcia nourished this group in decreasing numbers. Finally, it was the northern areas of the peninsula that were the last to incorporate labour force to Jorquera and Casas Ibáñez. This general tendency of the population to move from north to south in search of work and new opportunities was, as the author points out, a constant during the Modern Age.
