Abstract
A thorough study of the economic history of Spanish colonization in Africa today is still a pending issue. With this paper we aim to contribute to a better understanding of the economic history of a territory —Equatorial Guinea—, which was a Spanish colony. Its economic role within the Hispanic colonizing strategy was increased as we approached their emancipation, from being a supply station for ships in the Gulf of Guinea to become a major exporter of raw materials and food products to the metropolis. Its economic dynamics meant profound changes in the social relations of production, ownership of resources and marketing channels and distribution of its exports. It also played an important role in the investment options of the great Spanish capital.
