%X Although ancient authorities mainly described Spain as a herdsmen's 
country and often praised the number and quality of her livestock, 
there are no reliable proofs of transhumance before the Visighotic 
period. Nevertheless, indirect evidence suggests that herds were mov- 
ing between seasonal grazing areas even during the time of the Roman 
conquest. Later on, several legal documents are better explained invok- 
ing the interest of cities and individuals in controlling alternative pas- 
ture lands, and some migratory patterns seem to conform nicely with 
traditional transhumance's areas and with the routes linking them.
