Grado

Today: Spain

Years
1492–1833
Role
Town on the Camino de Santiago, in the Nalón valley

Grado was a town founded in the 13th century at the urging of Alfonso X, with a central street on the Camino de Santiago, and it did not win its autonomy until the end of the 15th century. In the 18th century its residents offered the king a sum to be able to elect their own councillors; the Audiencia of Oviedo ruled in 1774 against the monopoly of a few families and the Chancillería confirmed it in 1783.
