]]> In trying to explain the evolution of the Galician population between the 17th and 19th centuries, criteria can be established which characterise Galicia as one of the most dynamic areas, with its population doubling between 1591 and 1752, although the key is to study these demographic data throughout these centuries to see the reason for these variations.
In the mid-18th century, Lugo and Tui show the most differentiated values, with the former province being sparsely populated and enjoying a good number of livestock, while Tui has similar data for both people and livestock. The figures for Betanzos, Mondoñedo and Coruña are very similar, with the latter having slightly more population due to its position as the capital. Santiago, on the other hand, shows the weight of the Ulla valley and the coast, with areas with a large presence of terracing that condition the occupation of the land.

]]> Series that narrates the life of Inés Suárez, the first Castilian woman to arrive in Chile, based on the novel by Isabel Allende. The series recounts the main events of the conquest of Chile by Pedro de Valdivia, up to the founding of the city of Santiago. It pays special attention to historical rigour and the performances of Elena Rivera and Eduardo Noriega have been very well received by critics.
