The charcoal-making of Navahermosa

Historical milestone · Navahermosa, Montes de Toledo, Toledo

Image of Navahermosa, not of the place itself.

During the nineteenth century the town's economy depended on the charcoal that was made in the kilns of the hills and sold in Toledo and Madrid. As that trade declined, the district turned towards the olive grove and towards the stripping of the cork oak woods.
