The Lordship of Las Mozas is created

During the reign of Charles II, the Crown created the Lordship of Las Mozas, a title covering more than 20,000 hectares, in recognition of services to the Crown. Over two hundred families lived off this land under the entailed estate system.

Olive groves, livestock and land

With the end of the entailed estate came direct farming and the great olive plantation that still defines the landscape. In the late 20th century, Javier Fernández de Bobadilla introduced extensive organic livestock farming and restored the natural surroundings.

A place to be

His daughter, África, returned to the estate and turned the old farm buildings into spaces for celebrations and gatherings. Today, memory, land and contemporary life live side by side at Las Mozas.
