The Spanish settlers had to agree to several conditions in order to receive a land grant in New Mexico. One of the main conditions was their commitment to settle in the area, establish a permanent residence, and cultivate the land. They also had to promise to convert the indigenous population to Catholicism and teach them Spanish language and customs. Additionally, they were expected to defend the land from external threats, such as Native American attacks or foreign invasions.
