Spanish term
fanega
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Real Estate
Land registry
From a reference to land registry or similar documents from Spain for translation to British English
"Tierra en termino de [municipal area] y sitio de [a locality within that area] de caber una fanega [x] celemines igual a [y] áreas treinta y [z] centiáreas, que linda: ..."
I can only find "bushel", a measure of volume as a translation of "fanega", so, does it have a translation as a unit of area?

fanegada

En España, en algunos lugares, como por ejemplo en Valencia, una hanegada son 831 m²; en Castilla equivale a 576 estadales cuadrados, lo que en el sistema métrico decimal equivale a 64,596 áreas, 6.459,6 m² o 0,64596 hectáreas; también en Canarias, una fanegada son 5.248 m² o 0,52 hectáreas.

It appears that it can be written with either an 'h' or an 'f', as so often happens.
fanegada
1. f Medida agraria cuyo valor, aunque diferente en las distintas islas, oscila alrededor de los 5000 metros cuadrados. Hace unos años, una finca de plataneras de dos fanegadas daba para vivir bien una familia.

It would help if we knew whereabouts the land is, as the size of a 'fanegada' doesn't seem to be the same everywhere.

: I think the askers could have Googled this. And I don't think you should convert it into square metres, because it varies from place to place.

Yes. I've been thinking that in my lifetime there have been many changes and I suppose they would also require a t.n. How many people can remember how much 3/6 is or a shilling? Thank you, AllegroTrans :-)?

The fanega or Spanish bushel was an old measure of dry capacity in Spanish-speaking countries. It was generally used in an agricultural context to measure quantities of grain. The measure varied greatly, but in Castile, it was equivalent to roughly 55.5 liters.
It was also a measure of surface area that was further subdivided into 100 varas, or the amount of land that could be sown with a fanega of seed.

Fanega
La fanega es una unidad de medida de la metrología tradicional española, anterior al establecimiento y la implantación del sistema métrico decimal. Es tanto una unidad de volumen o capacidad como una unidad de superficie, con gran variabilidad según la región. En el marco de Castilla, la conversión es 55,5 litros de capacidad o * 6459.6 metros cuadrados * para la fanega de superficie.
Se utilizaba para medir productos agrícolas (especialmente cereales) o áridos, y fincas agrícolas.
Se divide en dos cuartos, cuatro cuartillas o doce celemines.

... in Castile (Harrap's) > 1.59 acres (agri., Simon & Schuster).
and is what I used out of fear of fanega or fanegada being mixed up by monolingual English readers with an old fogey or faggot.

: (a) It's not 64 square metres, and (b) "faggot" was a generalised term of abuse in the UK about fifty years ago. But once again, this is the twenty-first century and its meaning has changed - you should look it up.

Taña Dalglish
: https://www.sizes.com/units/fanega.htm It is clear from the heading that it is land that is meant. Bushel refers to capacity (e.g. corn). In Spain, 20ᵗʰ century, a unit of dry capacity, about 55.501 liters (about 1.57 U.S. bushel).
