The Roman Necropolis

From El Coto Las Canteras we walked back down the hill and picked up the gravel track that was the royal cattle track to Granada. This track has been used for thousands of years to transport cattle from various towns on route to the main city of Granada to market. In the Roman times the track and baths, An arena and even a Necropolis off to the side it and of course the quarry where stone would be cut and then transported down the track aswell.
The track still exists and is pretty much in its original form and most of the Roman remains are still there to see. These include the baths and the Necropolis.
The Necropolis has been looted time and time again over the years and has now been left open to the public so we actually got inside some of the tombs and we could see where bodies would have been. It was creepy but cool at the same time.Read more
