More wood !: The story of Manuel Soler and the largest xiloteca in Spain
Hidden among the small streets of Les Rotes, a few meters from the sea, is a large plot of those that still respect the vegetation of the place. Where you can glimpse what in other times was the area, which has now been taken over by cement. Large and leafy trees among which Manuel Soler lives, in an idyllic fairytale cabin that he built himself a short distance from his most precious treasure. Despite the ignorance of most of the neighbors, at the back of the plot, in another wooden house that also came out of their hands, the largest xiloteca in Spain is hidden.
"But what is a xiloteca?"was the first thing that, logically, I asked myself when my partner advanced the story. My vast knowledge of Greek made me intuit that we were, as when we speak of a library, before a collection. Now, of what? What is that xilo that aroused so much interest in its owner?
When we arrived at the place, a picturesque place with large pine trees, we went to the bottom where, in a wooden cabin, with the poster announcing Xylotheque Next to the door, Manuel and his dog Caco were waiting for us. Inside we find a room full of shelves in which, instead of books, thousands of perfectly labeled woods are displayed. That was xiloExcuse me, and this is the story of Manuel, which is necessary to know to understand the reason for his collection.
