Félix farmhouse

In the Marxalenes park is the farmhouse or Alquería (rural community) of Félix, originally from the 16th century. It is housing for farmers, of the Valls family, also used for agricultural activities. In the mid-17th century, the upper floor dedicated to agricultural activities became a dryer for tobacco leaves and a silkworm nursery. This store is popularly known as chambers. The silk swaths or llits de cucs from the beginning of the 19th century are conserved here today.
