Abstract

Joaquín Costa era hijo de propietarios rurales muy pobres. Aunque nacido en Monzón, en 1846, su familia se trasladó muy pronto a Graus, provincia de Huesca, su lugar de procedencia original. Una región, la del Alto Aragón, donde eran harto visibles las supervivencias de la sociedad agraria tradicional. El padre de Costa era, al parecer, buen conocedor del derecho consuetudinario aragonés, y solía ejercer de mediador en las disputas locales. Una tierra la oscense de reciente pasado carlista. En 1835 las tropas del Pretendiente fueron recibidas con júbilo en Huesca; y en Barbastro también entraron sin dificultad alguna. Los primeros biógrafos de Costa hablan del «elemento místico, clerical» de su familia; del «medio levítico» en el que fue educado. Una numerosa familia la suya, con varios sacerdotes. Uno de ellos, su tío José Salamero, fue una personalidad dentro de la Comunión Tradicionalista.
