Spanish term or phrase: Pueblos Promiscuos
"Un dato. Próximo se encuentra Cambedo, uno de los llamados Pueblos Promiscuos, pues estuvo atravesado por la línea fronteriza hasta el cambio de la misma en el Tratado de Lisboa de 1864."

El término hace referencia a aquellos pueblos fronterizos que a lo largo de la historia han cambiado de nación. En concreto, los habitantes de este pueblo situado en la frontera entre España y Portugal tuvieron durante mucho tiempo la capacidad de escoger la nacionalidad o incluso tener una nacionalidad mixta.

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Muchas gracias

Promiscuous villages
Explanation:
"XXVII. The 3 promiscuous villages called Souteliño, Cambedo, me and Lamadarcos, having
passed entirely under the dominion and sovereignty of Portugal in virtue of Articles X and XI,
and the 3 villages of the Cotomixto, called Santa Maria de Rubias, Santiago, and Meaus,
remaining in turn under the dominion and sovereignty of Spain in virtue of Article VII, both
parties agree that the inhabitants of the promiscuous villages who are really Spanish subjects, as
well as the inhabitants of the villages of Cotomixto who are really Portuguese subjects, may
preserve their nationality if it should suit them to do so. For this purpose they shall respectively
declare their decision before the local authorities within the space of a year reckoned from the

agree  José Patrício: "povos promíscuos" nem da sua História. Simplesmente direi, por enquanto, que se trata de umas aldeias que, por séculos, ficaram divididos pela linha divisória da Raia, fazendo com que houvesse uma mistura entre galegos e portugueses, - http://historiasda

agree  neilmac: Perhaps use of inverted commas might minimise the latent "fnarr factor"?

  -> Thanks Neilmac! agree with Charles here.

agree  Charles Davis: No need for inverted commas after "llamados". Worth mentioning that your reference is the translation in the British and Foreign State Papers; I checked, in case it was a crude non-native effort (though it doesn't read like that anyway).
