The frontier of Granada created patterns of inequality in Andalusia that persisted right through to the present day
The results of the research project show that the prevalence of large estates (latifundia) in modern and contemporaneous Andalusia was the consequence, in part, of the Frontier of Granada.

This fact constituted the starting point for the high economic and political inequality that has characterized a great bulk of the Andalusian territory since then.
