Economics: 
Belcadiz is a temperate realm of rolling hills and dry, though not arid, soil. Conventional agriculture is thus difficult in this principality, but the elves have made the most of it, cultivating grapes, olives, and fruits. Belcadiz also encompasses a several large stands of forest running to the Vesubia river valley; while the forest is protected by royal decree, the princess and her forebears have been known to sell small tracts of the tall oaks for lumber in tight economic times. The southern Colossus Mounts, which border the principality, have made those troubled times more rare in the past century, since the elves discovered (and maintained mines for) gold and silver there. Belcadiz imports grains, stone, wood, gems, textiles, perfume, and exports fine metalwork, precious metals, weapons, wine, olive oil, cured meats, lace, pottery, fruits.

Roads/Trails
Alvarian Trail; This is the other real road (unpaved, but designated with packed earth on rows of logs) leading from Nyra to New Alvar in Belcadiz. Especially in  wagon this road is torture.
Another trail of note is the Alexander Glantri Memorial Highway which begins at Fort Monteleone and runs east into the hill country and from there to Bramyra, finally ending at Fort Tchernovodsk. It is rated a fair trail by Glantrian AAA and has throughout its history been a dangerous route due to proximity to the border with the Border Lands and later with Ethengar. Only a small section is passing Through Belcadiz. As this is too short. Glantrian politics ordained...NO taxes are due on this part of the rail. As such, any Tol booths sighted are illegal...yet often advisable to pay, not to be excluded from trading with Belcadiz, and getting a very bad name.
Other smaller poor quality trails crisscross the region connecting the towns and villages to each other.

Other named locations
Orangina Medina; hills with Olive and orange orchards
Montilla pines; Hills with dark straight pines
Llodino Woods; The oak covered hills are Treant treated areas, the rest is for the Glantrians.
Foret de Fuen; Hickory forest

One final important remark;
Elves mages/wizards/sorcerers or however they call themselves, do not have the need to use towers to display they are wizards, as all elves are capable of using magic, the prefer normal (though often somewhat larger) elven style housing. As thus you will NOT find mage towers in these regions, where elsewhere in Glantri You would find many.
