Muleteers supplied food to the most isolated inhabitants of the Peninsula and made La Mancha garlic, Andalusian oil and Extremaduran paprika reach the north. From the 9th century until well into the 19th century, the mule factory supplied everything essential—food, cordage, wool, silk, salt, glass, pharmacy goods, tobacco or spices.

Without them, half of our gastronomic corpus would not exist. The muleteer, also called carters, mule drivers or traginers, traded following a series of tortuous paths lasting several days of travel.
