Social Sciences - History | | Spanish term or phrase: jornadas | Hi I would appreciate your help with this term.
Context is:
"La corte permanecía el invierno en Madrid y el resto del año disfrutaba de las Jornadas Reales: la primavera en Aranjuez, el verano en el Escorial y el otoño en la Granja.
...
Durante el reinado de Fernando VII las jornadas primaverales devuelven al Sitio su brillantez y es en época de Isabel II cuando vive su último período de esplendor hasta la actualidad.
...
Las grandes familias aristocráticas encargaron construir sus propios palacios en Aranjuez para acompañar a la corte durante las jornadas reales"
Thanks :) |

| | (royal) progresses | Explanation:
"Jornada" here means "journey"; basically a day's journey, and by extension a journey of any length (and of course that is where "journey" comes from: "journée", a period of a day).
Historically this refers to itinerant monarchy, travelling from one royal residence to another. Elizabeth II still does a version of this, from Windsor to Balmoral and so on. The proper historical term for it is a "royal progress", and in the plural, "royal progresses".

"El inconveniente de este revitalizado sistema de gobierno conciliar radicaba en que su inevitable dependencia del monarca hacía de él un instrumento de exasperante lentitud a la hora de adoptar una decisión, siendo favorecida su falta de celeridad por el excesivo afán de Felipe III de viajar muy a menudo por España, lo que provocaba que las decisiones de gobierno adoptadas desde Madrid se retrasaran constantemente al tiempo que trataba de mantenerse en permanente contacto con la corte itinerante.
Las continuas jornadas reales fueron en todo momento organizadas por Lerma con gran diligencia, pues eran el modo ideal de alejar a Felipe III de influencias no deseadas."

The "jornadas reales" included both the journey and the periods of residence in places away from the permanent seat of the court.
"progress, royal. A journey around the kingdom, regularly taken by monarchs and their courts in the days of personal rule. When communications were poor and regional control limited, progresses served to assert sovereignty and win loyalty. They also offered opportunities to hunt, to avoid the plagues that thrived in built-up cities, and to share the economic burden of maintaining the court among richer subjects."
