Abstract
During the Reconquest, large territories were incorporated into the Christian kingdoms, favouringthe transhumance of livestock, mainly sheep, and the development of agriculture. These activitiesproduced wealth while at the same time had incompatible interests due to the damage caused by thepassage of livestock on cultivated land. With the establishment of the Honrado Concejo de la Mesta byAlfonso X in 1273, the protection of both sides and the regulation of the areas where livestock passedthrough began. But the privileges that were given to the Mesta until its extinction in 1836 by protectivereigns caused disputes between the aforementioned sectors and the kings had to adopt protectivemeasures in certain territories, as was the case of the Kingdom of Murcia and the Villa de Calasparra,such as allowing the regulation of transhumant livestock passage by their own ordinances, exemptionsfrom payment of the toll for the passage of their own livestock and others that would alleviate thedamage caused to agriculture.
