Booklet for hiking trip.

1. The land of bandits
and charcoal makers
Name(s):
1

2. 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.

3. Is there any
difference
between
charcoal
and coal?
Which one
comes from

burning of
certain wood
or is a mineral
from a mine?
Which one
was used
for cooking
and heating
or for the
industry?

4. These are ripplemarks.
They are sedimentary
structures that were

and 500 million years old,
from the Paleozoic.

5. 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.
