Some properties are bought based on square footage, number of rooms, or location. Then there are those bought for what they represent. In La Floresta, within the Sant Cugat del Vallès area and next to the Torre Negra sector, stands a listed Modernist building, constructed in 1905 and associated with the architect Eduard M.
