Abstract
The commercial relations between Andalusia and Normandy were based on the exchange of raw materials and Spanish agricultural products against Norman industrial products, especially textile, destined for trade with America. These exchanges intensified throughout the 16th century, despite wars. In the 1570s, the salt trade went through a growth phase to supply the French Atlantic façade and the fishing boats that head towards Newfoundland. The Spanish merchants based in Rouen play an important role in these relations, although not essential, since the Normans are also very interested in this trade.
