Image of Capellades, not of the place itself.

Between the 18th and 19th centuries, as many as sixteen paper mills operated along the Rec del Corronaire, in Capellades, powered by the water of the Bassa. The town exported deckle-edge paper and cigarette paper to markets on the Peninsula and in the Americas.
