The purpose of this study is to analyse the billboard of Cadiz over more than a decade to account for the theatrical context in which the famous «querella calderoniana» occurs. According to Llorens, in Cádiz around 1818, there was no Golden Age theatre scheduled.

This paper aims to verify this assertion and evaluate the continuity or novelty of dramatic practice in the XVIIIth century.
