Abstract
From the sisteenth century silk production, industry and trade reached a remarkable development in the huerta /orchard land) of Murcia. However, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries this industry fell in a gradual decline, which despite the attemps to revitalize it, led practically to its disappearance. The past importance of silk industry and the traces of this activity in the landscape of Murcia allow us to carry out a didactic approach to this study. Our aim will be to make the students become acquainted with the importance of silk industry in Murcia from a historical and a geographical point of view.
