- Title
La senectud en el mundo rural: la dependencia del «viejo» en la localidad zamorana de Fermoselle entre 1750-1825.

- Abstract
The final stage for old people in the rural world of Zamora took place in a frame of everyday life with their closer family. The elderly used to design strategies in order to support and soften the lack of resources during the last cycle of their lives. One of these strategies consisted of transferring and donating their possessions to their relatives. That became a typical method in the rural áreas of Zamora. However, this is even more evident if we focus our attention on those groups of population who owned a mínimum of family richness.
