Vara Conuquera

The vara conuquera is a traditional Spanish unit of length used historically in some parts of Spain and Spanish America, especially in land measurement. It is a regional variation of the vara, which generally measures around 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), but the vara conuquera specifically is associated with the unit used for measuring conucos—small agricultural plots or gardens.

The length of the vara conuquera could vary locally but was typically similar to or a fraction of the standard vara. It was used primarily in rural land surveying and agriculture to define plots and land boundaries.

Barleycorn

A barleycorn is an old English unit of length, traditionally based on the length of a grain of barley. It is defined as exactly 1/3 of an inch or approximately 8.47 millimeters.

Historically, the barleycorn was used for measuring small lengths and was also the basis for the inch, which was originally considered to be three barleycorns long. It played a role in various traditional measurements, including shoe sizing in English-speaking countries, where shoe sizes were sometimes expressed in barleycorn units.

Although obsolete as a formal unit, the barleycorn remains culturally significant, especially in shoe sizing systems.
