Inside the Butsems factory, next to an oak tree, was the spring called "de la Guatlla" (of the quail), which gave its name to the neighbourhood. Its use by industry and the dumping of rubbish in Montjuïc during the sixties contaminated it. Today, only the memory, a monolith, and a hymn remain. "Our grandparents remember when they searched for the name, / to baptise our neighbourhood, it was very easy to find. / The quail gave a sharp cry, while the spring sang. / They chose Font de la Guatlla as the most precious in the world".

How we work

The associative tradition of such a remote and small neighbourhood is surprising. In 1889, the first leisure association, Els Hereus, was created on Sant Fructuós street. A year later, El Recreo opened next to an inn on Amposta street. In 1910, the choir La Nova Lira d’Hostafrancs was founded, also on Sant Fructuós street. Two years later, another entity, Panxeta, was born on Rabí Rubèn street. Much of this activity was generated by the workers of the two large factories that settled in the neighbourhood, following the example of Emili Clausoles' gas factory on Gran Vía. Before the Civil War, La Font de la Guatlla also grew along Gran Vía. A chocolate factory and two lighting and bulb factories (Lámparas Z, on Mèxic street, and Trèbol) were established. Pau Forns, an enriched rag-and-bone man, built six apartment blocks between numbers 272 and 282 of Gran Vía, still known as the "Cases del Drapaire" (Ragman's Houses). After the war, the neighbourhood's rural atmosphere gradually faded. In 1949, the parish of Santa Dorotea was built on an old wheat field. At the same time, characters like the cheesemonger, the furrier, the sock seller, or the pine nut seller, who sold five cents' worth of pine nuts to children while telling them a story, began to disappear. Furthermore, the nine streets that led up towards Montjuïc were named after flowers: Dàlia, Gessamí, Crisantem...

When to call for tap replacement in La Font de la Guatlla

During the early Franco regime (1940-1960), an organisation called Nia Nesto, meaning 'my nest' in Esperanto, organised talks and film screenings. It had to close in 1968 when some of its members were arrested. However, the school cooperative Magòria, the association Vecinos y Amigos de Magòria, and the Font de la Guatlla Residents' Association resumed social and advocacy activities during the late Franco era. As a result, in democracy, the neighbourhood centre and La Muntanyeta school were established, which residents secured without having to give up the other public school, Pau Vila.

The strip between Montjuïc mountain, Plaça d'Espanya, the Magòria stream or Mineria street, and Gran Vía is known as both the Magòria neighbourhood and Font de la Guatlla.
