Juegos y danzas de los colonos en las nuevas poblaciones de Sierra Morena en el siglo XVIII

This essay reflects on the origins and development of entertainment, leisure activities, and popular games among populations born from the colonization of New Populations of Sierra Morena and Andalusia. It examines this intangible heritage and its connections to other recreational activities in Andalusia, with the objective of approximating the leisure model that existed in those populations and was enjoyed by the popular classes. This leisure model was influenced by various games brought from Central Europe by the settlers. The essay establishes theoretical and methodological principles of emigration and contacts between societies, specifically those created in the colonizing project of Charles III in the eighteenth century. It also explores the nature and functions of entertainment and popular games, and concludes with a description and analysis of different games played.
