Houses and Streets

Shop, Estanco (15, Mariano Benlliure Street)

A house known as Casa Pío was a tobacco shop from the early 1950s until 2008. Prior, it had been a grocery and fabric store since 1892, founded by Pio Salt Vicent, who was also a correspondent for five banks. The fabric store ended when Òscar Compañ opened another in Mestre Serrano Street in 1968.

In 1926, the owner of the grocery and fabric store registered the first truck in the town, with license plate V 4739. It was a Ford and he kept it at his home.
