The flour market in the orchard of 15th century Valencia

Keywords: cereal market, supply policies, countryside-city relations, social elites

Abstract

The information from cereal flour transactions in the rural environment of Valencia provides information that contrasts with that obtained from the public cereal market, the Almudín. With a higher price of the merchandise, a homogeneous and differentiated typology of consumers, the bakers, and a more differentiated offer in which predominated the owners of small manors and owners of proprietary mills integrated into the social elite of the city, not importers merchants, this extramural area shows the need to reconsider a cereal market that is more complex than the one considered by historiography so far.
