1638. The merchants mappe of commerce wherein by Lewes Roberts.
Of Granado, and the Trade thereof.
GRANADO is the ordinary Parliament and Court of Justice for all the Southerne parts of Spaine, as Valiadolid is for the North; and therefore it may be imagined Where Lawyers are found to abound, little Trade is commonly concurrent: it is of it selfe a stately Towne, and curiously built all of Free-stone▪ it is fenced with a strong Wall, having twelve Gates, and 130. Turrets; the Palace of the late Morish Kings is the prime and most magnificent building of this Citie, it is seated within the Land, and hath Motril for the next Port, the neighbourhood of Almeria and Mallaga both maritime Ports binder much the Trade thereof, therefore I shall insist the lesser upon the Trade of this Citie, which principally depends upon the Raw Silke made here and upon the fabriques wrought thereof.
The Weight heere used is the Cantar of 100. l. which hath beene observed by some English to make 118. l. haberdepois, and by some Venetians to have made there 111. l. Grosse and 175. l. Sotile.
