Region of La Campiña, near Ecija, Andalusia, Spain

Twelve years of travelling Andalusia from top to bottom, first as a requisitioner of wheat and oil and later as a tax collector. We can follow his movements from signed documents: towns such as Marchena, Écija, Estepa, Montilla and Úbeda figure amongst others. He makes no exception for the Church and is twice excommunicated as a result. On 19th September 1592 he ends up in the prison of Castro del Río over a question of three hundred bushels of wheat.
