COMMERCIAL ROUTE

The material remains of this administration and its governing works are still visible in several places throughout the viscountcy. The Viscountcy of Cabrera was a territory of dynamic commercial activity, well represented by its markets—its area of greatest influence—which also benefited from excellent connections to maritime routes.

The arches located on the lower part of the buildings to the right of the Gothic fountain are the remains of the ancient medieval arches and porches of the Carrer Ample, associated from the start with the town’s commercial activities. In 1349, Blanes obtained from King Peter the Ceremonious the privilege of holding a weekly market.
