Sella is a small village to the north of Alicante province, in southeastern Spain. Carried out in 1726, Sella's croplands inventory is an example of the so called 'capbreus', the ancient land registries that were periodically undertaken in settlements within the Crown of Aragon beginning in late Middle Ages and all along the early modern period. These data are an excerpt of the Capbreu of Sella that includes all records concerning plots located within the Valley of Tagarina, a traditional farming area to the north-east of the village.
