His fingerprints are trademarks of history, walked past the remains of their drawing to the testimony. Were ways of survival, trade and relations. The old roads, cleared by the passage daily, drawn as lines accommodated to save on effort, the intricacies and ravines. Now those who remain are trails, greenways for hikers, fewer material assets by the greedy nature that engulfs them mercilessly.
An ancient description undated highlighted the difficulty of crossing the main access to the Land of Marbella from the inside. Those involved in the surveillance complained: "It is all these leagues quynze very high mountains and wadis, caves and many nooks and where much land is ay orphanage and in all these leagues quynze no roads where it can come off the coast of the inland sea to the camyno Syno coming from Marbella, Monda that port to and three leagues that can not come Syno one to another. And the road that goes to Ronda Marbella is very remote that can only come to one another. " They said that in these pathways could not ride horses: "You can save these lands quynze Syno leagues with people standing in the field, because you can not tread on horseback. "
This isolation was a determining factor of the human landscape. The plain, shoreline, offering advantages for habitation but also dangers. They came from the sea, forcing strengths raise a formidable defense system and human resources. Caro Baroja wrote that lived marbellenses back to the sea, but it does not always live back to the inner periphery of the periphery, away from the centers, connected by sea, always at the expense of alterations, earrings a horizon oteado warily from solid and high watchtowers, which in the Old Town resist no view, blind by decree.
departing from Marbella, and amounted small paths diverged and older roads. The main, Malaga that was so bad that Jose Ortega Munilla was entrusted to heaven when they started their diligence. The Estepona was seasonal, impassable in rainy winters. The Chronicles have drowned while crossing rivers, isolation, detachment. Ronda The patience and courage needed not only by the robbers but by wolves which abounded in the mountains. Ojen For the difficulties were similar, with access to a number of villages and cities, coastal alternative to when things got ugly to get to Malaga.
Over the years, paved and downgraded to roads are shortcuts, no smell and are silent field. Many were swallowed up by development, others are forgotten forever. Some are curious examples. Here is a small sample: the path of Alhaurín departed from Las Chapas northward along the Real de Zaragoza. The Mine is now Las Chapas access road to the village La Mairena and annexes. The Glen wimp communicated with Rio Las Chapas Regajo Real next to the wimp. The Fisherman was also known as Montenegral. The enigmatic Alameda High was in the vicinity of Rio Real. Watchmaker to rail is not known when or its origin. Shortcut Road just know that shortened distances. On the Rock of Abbot joined the Ojen road in El Peñoncillo. The Heron's started from the La Concepción to bind to the road to Istan. The Factory could go to the top (conception) or below (The Angel) and ended in the cemeteries near the Rio Verde. The Courts started from San Pedro and Guadalmina crossed in west. The Way of Alcornocal was the 340 of the XV century and the Last Bujedillo bordered Guadalpín Istan.
If these roads were arteries, veins paths are smaller in body, vital corridors of forest and mountain. Marbella, like a heart needs all not to lose sensitivity to the environment. Sidewalks are women surgeons in the ecosystem, which weeded out roads as the catheter unclogs veins. Tanned and normal people, it has merit at the time running, Sierra Blanca knows by heart and open it for comfort and enjoyment of all citizens. Dolores, alma mater of the case, a force of nature, once told me that if I ever wanted tributes came to him, he did not like nor deserved. There is no deception or false modesty, so I just thank him.
