Abstract
A large part of the Basque economy and, in general, that of all the Cantabrian region focused on maritime economic activities, at least since the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, the apogee of this economy came in the 15th century, thanks to the combination of socio-economic changes, having consequences in the next centuries. The northern ports were positioned in a ranking, which lived a drastic shift around the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, but not a general crisis, as traditionally has been stated. With the purpose to understand this period, we will study the specific cases of Bermeo, Lekeitio and Ondarroa.
