La Feria Colonial: flow and exchange of products in the Nueva Vizcaya in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Summary

The trade network in the colonial era formed a great circuit that used communication paths. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro was used to transport the products sold through fairs that were established at strategic points in the New Spain. Kingdoms away as was the Nueva Vizcaya had people who used to travel these roads annually to bring their products and other materials to get points not only of the New Spain, but also from Spain and the Philippines. The circuit of fairs and marked trails around these strategic points show how the flow and exchange of goods between the various kingdoms of New Spain and the Metropoli worked.
