Transcript of The land of bandits and coal makers
Hello, my name is Picón and I used to work with my owner in
these forests. He loaded my saddlebags and we carried the
charcoal into the city. In the past, these pathways were dangerous
and scary because many travellers were assaulted and stolen all their money and belongings. This is the reason why this pathway has such
a name: Cuesta de la Traición.

Is there any difference between charcoal
and coal?
Which one comes from
the slow burning of
certain wood or is a mineral from a mine?
Which one was used
for cooking and heating
or for the industry?

This was a secondary pathway in Roman times. It was used for the
transportation of minerals from local mines into the city. The pathway
entered the city through the Praetorian Gate. It gave access to the cardo (main street going North-South
in a Roman city). For this reason it was later named as Vereda del Pretorio.
