Fue el primer carretero de Alcublas que transportaba la nieve desde los ventisqueros de las montañas de Alcublas a Valencia.
Viniendo un día por un camino -que no era la carretera- se encontró con otro hombre que era transportista al igual que él, pero de aceite. Tenía el carro cargado y se le partió el eje en mitad de la montaña. El hombre estaba todo acalorado... - Tranquilo, no pasa nada. Ahora voy a Alcublas, comen las caballerías y en hora y media estoy de vuelta.
Y bajó, cambiaron la carga a su carro y se bajaron Valencia. Then the oil man asks
- And this, what does it cost?
- This is worthless.
- How worthless? You used your time ...
- This is the same (she said). men on the road we have to know winning and losing.
And just around a few years, when his son was old, he was the kid with the car in Valencia and around a corner broke a window. The car is then, to stop wearing a gauge that went more than the car. Then they arrested his son to take notes of who was the one who made the wreckage and that he left a well-dressed gentleman who did not know who he was and said
- Thomas Peñarrocha, are you the son of Andrew Peñarrocha?
- Yes, sir.
- For that fine I'll see.
was the son of carrier oil.
also wanted to tell you that before road was carrier, for bringing the genre of Aragon Valencia. There were even cars. The herdsmen had laborers, sometimes four or five were needed for the same seven or eight horses to the load. I remember in one of his trips, in a wayside inn told the owner: - I want to make me a chicken in rice.
- What few are going to be?
- Let's six, he said.
And the woman began making paella and when it came time to throw rice says:
- What their peers when they come?
- Why do you say?
- For by casting the rice.
- you pour it, they'll come!
And it came time to serve food:
- But these men come or not come? Is that the paella is done (the hostess tells me).
- Well, if made, to the table! And they sat journeyman who was with him and he fell and the whole paella.
A sack of wheat would weigh 80 or 90 kilos ... To throw two to one cavalry! ...
I remember in one trip, the porter of the inn, and gave tips are placed from the best paid him, and told the guy Peñarrocha:
- Uncle Andrew, there have been telling their brave companions to eat it tonight to see load, they believe they will have to help ...
He put the saddle bags with two fully charged, put. He took a horse, put the blankets and then took the saddle with two sacks, which is necessary strength and did well: boom! and put. And when they loaded the fifth cavalry said
- Gentlemen, here I'll stay. Do not say I did not say goodbye.
And when rochas capsized in the chariot of the snow?
On one trip, was delayed from the other road, and down loaded later, it was already night, came last. The others did not realize when it capsized in rochas, on the shortcut. Spinning males were released and thank God nothing happened, but the car arrived at the ravine. I could not get the car there.
So I downloaded the car hit the male who was in the bar and breaking the wall could Take the car to the road so that after l and play out all Sarra shoulder, the 3000 kilos! As I was the last or learned. On arriving they say,
- What has happened to you so late?
- Na! I've tangled a bit.
the end they learned that he had overturned.
His was the first large truck that was in Alcublas. Were three Alcublas carters who were responsible in the late nineteenth century to transport all the snow stored in the term. Came to go to other areas, including the Sierra de Mariola.
was in charge of paying the men carrying loads snow when they received it during the winter. The horses carried on as the only cars used to transport it to Valencia. They took advantage of very cold days and did not have to go to the countryside to deal with the snow. Perricos charged to the load. In the snowfields
had a ladder to get off because if not impossible given their depth. That of the owners have a depth of about six meters. We do not know if any of them had covered it up to today there has been none.
To remove the snow from the glacier using the same system when filling in reverse. Drove her to transport plates and put them in Sarria de esparto, loading trucks at night and leaving then to Valencia. Grao Iban to a man who called him "the Grao Nevat" that would buy and then distributed. The cleaner the bore for ice cream and that was with more impurities the left for the fish.
These short stories make up the life of a great man : Peñarrocha Andrés García (Alcublas, 1840-1930) . A great man in all aspects :
It measured nearly two feet tall, all muscle and bone, ninety kilos. Was stronger than a horse and when the males were not hooked him, grabbed a rope to the shoulder, hooked to the car and pulling it all before.
was an unusual man . Just one day gave him food to eat three days for three days without eating. I had no worries on that topic. Download
Channel with a car of 3000 kilos to Valencia would be hard, but did not care ....
strength, endurance, experience, character ... trustworthiness. All of which terms are well defined Peñarrocha uncle.
