Cal Benet
Cal Benet is the manor house of the Vall Cabré family in Torroja del Priorat dating from 1792, from the very beginning dedicated to the cultivation of vines, olive trees and nuts.
History
Benet Vall planted the first vineyards that at the end of the 19th century suffered from the decline of phylloxera, which changed the appearance of the villages and caused mass immigration to the city.
To give you an idea of the magnitude of the tragedy in 1893 Torroja del Priorat had 852 inhabitants, from 1900 to 700 hours. At present it has 153 inhabitants.
Several Generations
Phylloxera forces the vineyards to be planted again, a task that Cristòfol Vall carries out with the subsequent help of his son Modesto Vall. Ramon Miró continues to cultivate the land in the middle of the 20th century and expand the family property, a task that his son Carles Miró Vall has been carrying out for some years.
