Abstract

The paper aims at making an analysis of what the author chooses to call submetropolitan market gardens, these being lots left over in the overall building up process. The study is centred upon the Bolueta district of Bilbao in which these agricultural uses of land are to be found as are others such in the Great Bilbao Metropolitan Area. As against an explanation more proper to urban geography and by rather using a qualitative and interdisciplinary methodology, the paper sets out to demonstrate that these untoward lots are not in fact exploited for gain but, quite otherwise, that they represent the keeping up of everyday farming customs and village norms on the part of those who, having grown up in the country, were part of the drift to the cities of the Sixties and who, in cultivating these plots, keep alive traditional lore within the modern city.
