Solanella

Solanella is a small, abandoned village located in the municipality of Torrefarrera, in the province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. The village is situated on a small hill and consists primarily of ruins, with few buildings remaining in a habitable state. Historically, Solanella's economy was based on agriculture, primarily the cultivation of dryland crops like cereals and olives. The village's decline is attributed to a combination of factors, including rural exodus, economic hardship, and the consolidation of agricultural land. The village lacks modern amenities and infrastructure, contributing to its abandonment. Today, Solanella is a popular destination for hikers and those interested in exploring abandoned places and the rural history of Catalonia. Its remote location and state of disrepair offer a glimpse into a past way of life.
