"Throughout history, the frontier has created genuine life forms. The villages surrounding 'Raia' maintain relationships between themselves that give rise to their own culture, with unique customs and traditions.
One of them is contraband, this trade at the margin of the law which, in many cases, represented the only means of subsistence. The Contrabando route passes through some of the 'Raiana' towns whose inhabitants have stories of going out at night through the hills to traffic coffee, cereals and all types of merchandise.
The exchange of goods took place in both directions, depending on the historical moment and the difficulties that crossed people from one country or another.
In addition to being a local phenomenon, this trade was also a State policy, as was the case of the export of tin, of military interest, prohibited to countries that declared themselves neutral in the Second World War and, in addition to merchandise, crossed the border political refugees and emigrants, with the complicity of the inhabitants."
