Historical milestone · Sant Pere de Riudebitlles, Alt Penedès, Barcelona

Image of Sant Pere de Riudebitlles, not of the place itself.

The regular flow of the Bitlles drove from the eighteenth century a concentration of paper mills that supplied deckle-edged and cigarette paper to the peninsular and colonial markets. The activity marked the appearance and the economy of the valley.
