Image of Corbera de Llobregat, not of the place itself.

In the nineteenth century all the slopes of Corbera were planted with vines. The arrival of phylloxera at the end of the century ruined the young vineyards and the district became covered with woodland and wasteland, while the economy turned towards lime and gypsum.
