El impacto del clima en la economía de Madrid durante la Pequeña Edad de Hielo: la crisis de subsistencia de 1630

In recent decades, Environmental Humanities studies have ap-proached environmental issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. These stud-ies have focused on different regions of Spain, examining, among other aspects, historical climatology. The objetives of this article are, firstly, to analyse how the Little Ice Age affected life in Madrid, especially during the subsistence crisis of 1630, in the context marked by de Maunder Minimun. Secondly, to examine the relationship between climate and the development of the city together with the so-cioeconomic impact. And finally, to determine its influence on the icnrease in prices at the Madrid court. To achieve this, we will use an interdisciplinary methodology, within the framework of Environmental Humanities, integrating history, climatology and economy. These disciplines are essential for understanding the development of societies and anticipating the effects of climate change today. This approach will provide insights into how this climatic situation influenced the population of Madrid and played a determining role in its economy and daily life during the 17th century
