Las posadas y ventas en los caminos de Granada a Levante en la cartografía del XIX

Abstract

Guesthouses and inns are an essential type of architecture for the history of road communications in Spain since they reflect the lifestyle and organization of the territory until the 19th century. Nowadays, many of these buildings have disappeared or are endangered. However, the study of 19th century cartography has enabled us to locate them in order to contribute to the knowledge and appreciation of these auxiliary buildings to the roads, which are part of the Cultural Heritage and civil works of this country.
