Abstract


Previous essays that have attempted any approach to map the spread of convents in Early Modern Spain have always pointed out their high degree of concentration. This article tries to show other perspectives on the geography of convents. Besides concentration, dispersal is also a reality in the map of convents in Spain during the early modern period. Foundations were so numerous that we cannot forget the many other convents set up in other places rather than the towns saturated of them. This is the argument that will be explained in the pages below, considering the founders particular interests and also the norms established by the religious orders.
