The title refers to the bond that connects my family with this town, a connection that comes from afar. It started back in 1926, when my great-grandparents Jaume Aguil\u00e0 and Carmen Bruix bought a rural estate there &#8211; including the farmhouse in the picture.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A house with a long history<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The origins of <a href=\"https:\/\/patrimonicultural.diba.cat\/element\/can-vallmajor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Can Vallmajor<\/a> go back to the 12th century, to the year 1143 to be precise. Back then, the house was mentioned in the will of a certain Joan Vallmajor. The current building, however, dates from the 16th century as an inscription on the fa\u00e7ade reveals. <a href=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Manso-Aguila.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11357\" src=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Manso-Aguila-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Manso-Aguila-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ferranporta.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Manso-Aguila.jpg 713w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>The picture shows the house at the time when my great-grandparents bought it &#8211; and before some refurbishment was done. The dovecote was removed and a pergola was built in the garden. All around the house was farmland for decades. It wasn&#8217;t until the 1960s that my grandparents had a tennis court built to the right of the house. Tennis was (and still is) my family&#8217;s national sport.<\/p>\n<p>The Vallmajor owned the estate for more than 700 years. In 1920, Joaquim Vallmajor sold it to Juan Torrejoncillo, who in turn resold it to my great-grandparents six years later. Up until the turn of the century, the Aguil\u00e0 spent a lot of time there with family and friends. We didn&#8217;t live in Dosrius &#8211; but almost!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Can Vallmajor in the 21st century<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Today the place is unrecognizable. The farmland surrounding the house has been replaced by single-family homes, which have fundamentally changed the appearance of the place. Although the current owners no longer use the farmhouse, Can Vallmajor resists &#8211; and thousands of wonderful family memories live on.<\/p>\n<p>The already mentioned connection with Dosrius still exists. With the exception of the house and the surrounding property, the rest of the estate remains in my family&#8217;s possession. The forests include idyllic places like the \u201cSot Fountain\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/patrimonicultural.diba.cat\/element\/font-del-sot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Font del Sot<\/a>), an emblematic place for the inhabitants of Dosrius and for all nature lovers. It is easy to reach from the town center.
