Every fall, Spanish shepherds herd thousands of sheep along ancient droving rights of way that pass directly through the busy Puerta del Sol in downtown Madrid, the urban heart of the city and symbolic center of Spain (marked as kilometer “0” for national highways). First granted as a system of royal rights of way throughout the Iberian Peninsula in the thirteenth ce…
This book draws on the life stories told by shepherds, farmers, and their families in the Andalusian region in Spain to sketch out the landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with regional and European communities and policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and sustainabi…

rancis had a vital role to play at this mo-ment in the history of the Italian peninsula, and in no place is the case for his relevance made more beautifully, completely and com-prehensively than the Sacro Monte di Orta.
