The phylloxera and the emigration from Chella to Argentina

Historical milestone · Chella, La Canal de Navarrés, Valencia

Image of Chella, not of the place itself.

At the end of the 19th century phylloxera ruined Chella's vineyards and set off a strong migratory current towards Argentina. The crisis redirected local agriculture towards olive groves, almond trees and the irrigated crops that dominate the municipal district today.
