This article proposes an approach to the integration of the city of Buenos Aires within the trade flow which connected the Atlantic area with the Viceroyalty of Peru, through a political-cultural analysis of the relationship between a peripheral space and the Crown, which lends meaning and legitimacy to the failure to comply with royal provisions and to the successive requests by local powers to bring about the commercial opening of the port. Specifically, we address the problem of building a political discourse at the heart of the cabildo of Buenos Aires, between the years 1610 and 1660, through which was revealed a conceptualization of the enclave, of its relationship with the Crown and of its function within a larger political body.

This article analyzes correspondence sent by the field master Pedro Esteban Dávila to various levels of court administration, from his appointment as governor of Buenos Aires until his arrival in the Río de la Plata. These writings, sent between 1629 and 1631 from Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro, reveal some little-known aspects, at least for this region, of the efforts of a royal servant who, even before leaving the peninsula, played an essential role in the configuration of defensive devices for an enclave of geopolitical relevance at a critical juncture. Furthermore, this repertoire of letters provides an experiential perspective on the functioning of a composite monarchy during the period of the Union of Crowns.
