Summary

As a consequence of a case study, the author of this article proposes a review of Urban Anthropology related to its objects of study. She defends the idea of that the traditional village constitutes a genuine urban reality and that its inhabitants, whether peasant or not, are both urban and rural without there being a contradiction. The case study that is analysed is that of Noblejas, a village that recently has gone through an intensive process of local development and transformation, where these changes are confronted with the customary experience of an urban space and where there has been a popular discussion on the matter. This has allowed us to discover two models of dominant urban life in the local conceptions.
