The Crumbling Molí del Sors: Whispers from Catalonia's Industrial Past

Nestled amongst the banks of Spain's Gurri River, the Molí del Sors whispers through its stretches of decay. Once a harmonious partner to the river, it now stands a monument to Europe's industrial past – tall as some high-rise buildings, and four stories strong. This 17th-century mill sits deep within a vast basin, and the towering wall that looms above the Western portal, showcasing the ancient dam’s natural leap, the carcabà, standing about 3 meters high and 50 meters upstream from the bridge, might raise an eyebrow or two. The current state of the Molí del Sors is a saddening sight, but the remnants of an age continue to reverberate from its crumbling walls. Did you know that, at their zenith, no more than 10 mills flourished in the nearby area? What hidden treasures still dwell within these walls, echoing the past?
