Can Blanc de Vilacireres
Can Blanc was built in 1687. It was the most important ancestral house of the area: it was a food bank during the time of harvests that went wrong, it had many workers that harvested the land or drove the herds, with a workshop and our ironwork; they made their own light and they were the first to have trucks.
The inhabitants were practically self-sufficient.
But the depopulation of the rural areas affected the house and it was uninhabited for a long period of time, this provoked an important deterioration.
We are a couple that arrived at this house when it was nearly a ruin. After 11 years, with the collaboration of the owner, a lot effort and sacrifice, Can Blanc is a three century farmhouse, restored that has all the necessary comforts, conserving its essence and soul. This is what we want to share, this environment and this house.
