Passatge Santa Teresa Jornet

Passatge Santa Teresa Jornet Avinguda 27 de Gener, 31, 25182 Aitona, Lleida This is a corner garden located in Etona, and I couldn't find any detailed information about it online. A small garden houses a statue of a saint, and based on the name of the garden, it should be Santa Teresa Jornet. The warm spring sunshine shines on the quiet garden, and an old man lazily dozes off in a corner of the garden. It's such a harmonious scene. The whole garden looks more like a farmer's courtyard, and in one corner of the park, there are previously used carts and farming tools, quietly telling stories of the past. Aitona (Spanish: Aitona) is a municipality in the province of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. It covers a total area of 67 square kilometers and has a population of 2,179 people (as of 2001), with a population density of 33 people per square kilometer. Its main industry is agriculture. The origin of the town is located in an ancient Saracen castle, which was proven in a document from 1120. It was reconquered by Ermengol VI of Urgell in 1145. For a period of time, most of its inhabitants were Muslims, who were granted a special legal system prevailing until the seventeenth century. It had the crown until 1212, the year the Barony of Ettorena was established. In 1233, it fell into the hands of the Moncada family. Some ruins of the castle can be seen from the mountain overlooking the city. The parish church is dedicated to Saint Antoly. It was built in the 18th century and has a Baroque-style exterior. It consists of three ships. Near the city center is the refuge of San Juan de Carratalán. It is believed to be the masterpiece of the Hospital Knights and was built on the site of an old mosque. A Romanesque temple mentioned in a document from 1168. Who would have thought that this small town with a population of less than 3000 would be the most important peach planting and exporting area in all of Spain? With 8500 hectares of orchards, various types of peaches such as oil peaches, red peaches, and flat peaches are grown, with an average annual total output of 150 million kilograms. Who would have thought that a small agricultural town would accidentally become a popular tourist destination? The locals who made their fortune selling fruits also benefited from the tourism industry.
