I am sharing in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia this photograph taken near Cassà de la Selva, in the region of Gironès, where we can find this abandoned and retired car.
It is a work tool that has been replaced by tractors. The image invites us to reflect. Time passes, but its charm endures.
To give us an idea of ??how far it has offered us its services, the cart began to be used in Europe in the fourth millennium BC.
Cassà de la Selva has a privileged natural environment. It is a territory rich in trails to explore. It is located in a land of passage, at the foot of the Gavarres massif and at the beginning of the Selva plain.
The use and exploitation of cork has marked the economy and life of Cassà de la Selva. An activity that begins in the forest, in the Gavarres, with the cork oaks and the shell of their bark, and ends in the companies that transform it into stoppers for the best wines.
