CHAP. CXIII. Of Granado, and the Trade thereof.

GRanado is the ordinary Parliament and Court of Justice for all the Southern parts of Spain, as Valladolid is for the North; and therefore it may be imagined, Where Law∣yers are found to abound, little Trade is commonly concurrent; it is of it self a stately Town, 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 Moorish Kings is the prime and most magnificent building of this City, it it seated within the Land, and hath Motril for the next Port, the neighbour∣hood of Almeria and Malaga, both Maritime Ports, hinder much the Trade thereof, therefore I shall insist the lesser upon the Trade of this City, which principally depends upon the R•…•… Silk made here, and upon the Fabricks wrought thereof.

* 1.1The Weight here used is the Cantar, of 100 l. which hath been observed by some English to make 118 l. Averdupois, and by some Venetians to have made there 111 l. Gross, and 175 l. Sotile.

The Measure is as at Malaga.
