The Buxeres house
Box plant belongs to the Buxaceae family, an evergreen with white flowers, very much appreciated for its wood. And even though in Catalan this shrub receives the name of boix, this area of Barcelona, unlike what one might think, is not called Can Boixeres for being a terrain of boxwoods, but rather because of the surname of Lluís Buxeres Abat, the old proprietor of Casa Alta, well known in the area. Buxeres bought the farm from Joaquina Casanovas, who, in turn, had purchased it from the Alemany family in 1875.
