"On the 18th century in Ubrique, 'petacas' are made and sewed".

This craft was born due to the town being a strategic point as well as a must way of the Roman Via Carteia, contraband route between Gibraltar and the rest of the Spanish geography. This gave place to the original leather craft (tobacco-pouches 'petacas'; necessaries 'precisos'; and bags for goods 'bolsas de avios'), for man who were the ones who worked the land and did contraband. From there the first 'petaquerías' were born.
