Many Influences Sailed In

by aukjejetty - last update: May 3, 2003

Arabs, Chinese, Dutch and the English - they all sailed in, in search of spices leaving an imprint on the present Cochin life. It is a bit of everything here.

There is a commercial hub for merchants dealing in cashew-nuts, coir, seafood, timber, tea, coffee, rubber and spices. This is what gives Kerela it's name as "the spice coast".
