municipal / community land Explanation: "Propios" is a technical historical term in Spain and its former empire and refers to the property owned by a city, town or village: i.e., the municipality. It was property administered by the local council. So it was actually publicly rather than privately owned. "Proprios Usado regularmente en plural, se toma por las heredades, dehesas, casas u otro qualquier género de hacienda que tiene alguna Ciudad, Villa, o Lugar, para los gastos públicos." Diccionario de autoridades (first Spanish Royal Academy Dictionary, 1737). "Propios are the Revenues of Towns, or Communities."
