We began this route of the Industry remembering that if it has east name is because it is going to take to us to know, in addition to other things, leaves from the buildings and warehouses that were constructed at the end of the 19th century when the phylloxera attacked the French vineyard and the market of that country had to supply of towns like ours, growing the town mainly in warehouses, but also in some houses and services. Step we will take advantage of to see what we have left. (Push here to see the Tourist Plane of Cossonda) (Original version in castilian)
As in the other routes we located in "la Plaza’l Mercáu” [1], officially Plaza de España and that since already we have said in the other routes began being a small medieval cemetery, "el Fosal de San Juan" and later was urbanized on the 16th century for market outdoors and like place of public executions. Here we were the old inn, of the 16th century also, and some traditional eaves in the houses, in addition to being able to imagine where now is us "la Casa Lugar", the yellow building that for of Town Council, the old hermitage of St. John that already in the years that includes our route was in decay, because it had been confiscated in 1836.
Also we have the walls of defense of the river with the original foundations of end of the 17th century, not therefore the wall, demolished several times by the river, and a small bridge for walkers, "el Puente la Plaza", vestige of first, end of the 17th century also.
So we approached "la Casa Lugar" and began to raise by "la Carrera Auguarón", entering "el Rabal de Carrauguarón", before known like of "San Juan", and we can be fixing while we raised, by hand left, in the sheds of some houses and eaves.
When we arrived at crossing in Y we took the one from left, "la Cuesta la Lisalta", officially Calle Iglesia Alta, and we continued raising little by little and entering zone of warehouses, until we arrived at a point to that comes together many streets, "el Parque” [2], where the right one already the typical caves of Cossonda excavated under earth begin to see themselves.
We give a turn in U and we return a little by where we have come quickly taking "la Calle los Envases", that leaves to us by hand left. Here if which we are already in the heat of zone of warehouses, and industry, because if this street has east name is by the factory of metallic "envases", funnels in english, that in her were.
While we walked it we can be observing some of the caves that leave us to the step and is one specially that separates of the street a grating that for of door, thus being able letting see the walker as it is on the inside.
A little advanced more, to the left, we have the cave [3], within the building crossed by a pretty shed, where "las Bodegas Tejero", the warehouses oldest of Aragon than still work, stored and aged their wines.
We continued between warehouses until arriving at another crossing to which accede several streets, where is a poster of the “eje de Comunicación de la Sierra de Algairén” and that has a small square to the left that gives to entrance to “la bodega los Moros” [4]. Like peculiar data, this warehouse became during days, in March of 1995, a precious bar excavated under ground, since here the cinema director Julio Medem took several sequences for his film "Tierra".
We will return on our steps taking quickly the hill that leaves us to the right, "la Cuesta’l Retor", that has east name because it sent it to make in the middle of the 17th century the then Director of Cossonda Mosen Pablo Romeo so that the cars could raise without danger towards the new grounds that began to cultivate in "la Unión".
While we ascend we can be seeing different constructions from century XIX with its warehouses, some shed and traditional eaves, and also go bordering to the left the high part of "las bodegas Tejero" until a great building [5], the wine presses of these warehouses, leaves us to the step having to border it by the left.
We can be appreciating the views that appear to us of the town.
Also of "la Lisalta" and from the term now that already the hill lets to us breathe a little.
While we are turning towards the right, always bordering the wine presses of "las bodegas Tejero", until we arrived at a small building that for of scale [6], first passage of the grapes before entering the wine presses of this warehouse.
We will follow by the asphalted way walking between vines, to the left, and pines, to the right, having much taken care of with "el Cierzo", if it blows, because we entered the part of the warehouses that we called "Buenos Aires".
Those small rubblework pyramids that leave us to the way call "lumbreras" and are vents that have the warehouses which they are underneath the way, being used for "joriar el vino", renewing the oxygen that there is within the warehouse, the days that blows "el Cierzo".
While we walked we can see the right the town and pretty views of the Range of Algairen and the left different terms from fields: "la Celada", "Zagalcerro" and "la Rebollosa", and at the end of way “la Plana” and “Carrauguarón”, that is when we arrived at a crossing [7] and took the street from the right, beginning to lower.
We continued the reduction between some demolished house and more warehouses, contemplating the traditional architecture of them and being able to us to approach which has the door of bars and lets see its interior to us.
Thus we arrived again at the crossing where is "la Bodega los Moros” [4] taking now first from the left, by "la Paretera", officially Calle de la Diputación Provincial de Zaragoza, until we arrived at another crossing [8], being able to follow rectum to see some warehouse of traditional character more.
By this crossing, it counts the legend, that the days of cold and snow when falling the night they appear, when he walks one single one, two small children dressed target, who claim to be sisters and to have much cold, and that asks who please they are that it takes to its house to take refuge of the storm, because they are lost, disappearing at the moment that this one becomes to open the door of its house. The truth that until 1998, year in which the street was asphalted, still could be seen, on the foot of the door of a warehouse of a little [9], two above small tiles with the name of two sisters.
We left the legend and in the crossing we followed by "la Paretera", now Calle Escuelas, leaving the building of these, of half-full of the 20th century, to the left.
A little more down a small park with an iron scale [10] remembers the construction to us, demolished in 1998, that for of scale before entering other wine presses of "las Bodegas Tejero", since its seat was in the set of buildings of the right and where in addition to wine presses, for of distillery already by the 18th century.
This set of buildings we know it like “la Fabrica”.
If we were by the way of the left in 7 minutes we would arrive at "el Parque la Fontanilla" where we can throw a mouthful if it is precise and refresh to us with its waters.
We will cross a river by "el Puente’l Río Alto" where leaves to the left "la Casa Cipriano” [11], peculiar place where we have innumerable exposed traditional instruments of work as if we were in a ethnologic museum and nothing else to pass this house leaves to the left a street that takes in a pair from minutes to the "Parque del Río Alto", where also we can throw a mouthful if we have not done it in "la Fontanilla".
On the foot of this crossing we have a building of new construction that belongs to "Grandes Vinos y Viñedos", that are a society composed between several Cooperative Warehouses of the Region and other partners, and in usually age in barrel some wines.
The set of buildings faces this that were "a Bodega Cooperativa de San Bernabé” [12], founded on 1955 and refounded in 1997 with other cooperatives in "Grandes Vinos y Viñedos". Here it is where at the moment all the wine production of Cossonda is concentrated almost, and if we bordered the building until its entrance, turning to the right, we will be able to taste or to buy, if the warehouse is open, the different products of wine that it offers our town, like the famous "Pajarilla".
After it, and with the cleared head, we must again return until "el Puente’l Río Alto" and to begin to lower by "el Paseo", by hand left, officially Paseo de los Plátanos.
Quickly we will be to the right the main entrance of "la Fabrica” [13] with two characteristic banks next to the door, being able to appreciate the eaves of its tile roof. To the other side we have the river and an orchard, underneath the Cooperative.
A little more down leaves "la Fragua” [14], where still we can admire the construction and work of the iron of traditional form, and some house type of half of the 20th century and to the other side of the river a small forest of dry elm trees that hides the ruins of the flour mill of Cossonda.
Following we arrived at the Civic Center "la Unión” [15], that counts on bar, pavilion, sport pistes and swimming pools, and opposite we have "la Pirra", another small orchard.
Thus we put in "el Rabal de la Fuente Nueva” [16], of the 19th century, and that is called thus because if we paid attention underneath the stairs of the Civic Center "la Unión" are small water mouths. There was, until the successive reforms of 1989, 1995 and 2001 almost have buried it, "la Fuente Nueva" later well-known like "l'Abrevadero" because the salinity of its waters only allowed to drink the animals.
In this "Rabal" still we will see some house characteristic and also some traditional eaves while we passed next to the reformed "Puente la Fuente", of the 17th century, and arrived at the height from "la Casa Lugar” [1], reconstructed in 1986, that in the time that includes this route already to us had stopped being hermitage, we have its explanation in "la Union" Route, and one had become jail, schools, bull pens and, finally in "la Casa Lugar", principle and end of this route.
