Abstract
Por razones de relieve, suelo y climatología abundan las zonas húmedas litorales o interiores en el cuadrante sureste de la Península. Su explotación avanzó lentamente durante la Edad Media, a causa de la débil ocupación humana i después de la Reconquista. En cambio, cuando aumente la presión demográfica y empiece a crecer el peligro del paludismo, es decir, a partir del siglo XVIII, se crean las condiciones para el despegue del proceso de drenaje y puesta en cultivo que reducirán drásticamente la extensión de dichas zonas.
Dueto orografical, geological and climatic reasons do exist many island and coastal wetlands in the south-east comer of the Spanish peninsule. Their explotation fits the model of human land occupation imposed from the time of the Reconquista. Howevar, when the demographic pression and the risk for paludism grow, from the XVIIIth century on, begins a process of drainage and cultivation of reclaimed lands which will drastically reduce tl1eir previous area.
