AGUILAR, Norma Estela. The aboriginal´s possession in our lady of Talavera de Madrid de Esteco (1609-1650. Andes [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1668-8090.

Talavera and New Madrid Village urban areas were undergoing, in the early seventeenth century, a process of decline. The transfer and merger of both of them to the site of Rio de las Piedras, under the name of Our Lady of Talavera de Madrid de Esteco, tried to reverse the trend towards impoverishment. Actions carried out by Alonso de la Ribera, return the image of a founding act, in which the allocation of grants, neighbourhood, aboriginal and land, were designed to encourage people to stay in place and contribute to the conquest and defence. The space put into action Alfaro’s expression: "where Indians are missing there are no riches, considering in this way, the spiritual cause as something temporal". The diminution of entrusted natives, showed inexorably its decline, motivated, according to evidence, by the persistence of personal service. The permanence of this system of direct domination between Spanish and Indian, could have happened under amendments to Alfaro Ordinances for Tucuman Government and permissions given by the governors to the residents upon transfer under pretext of the particular idiosyncrasy of those entrusted, including Lules.
