At the beginning of the XIX century Ulldecona<\/strong> is a village of a certain importance within the closest territorial framework, fortified town with walls, four convents, five churches and impressive stone buildings, Ulldecona has always been a basic communication nucleus between Catalonia and Valencia. In ancient times, the Roman Via Augusta passed through its municipality. Just as an example, Ulldecona was the first village of the Montsi\u00e0 region with its own philatelic mark since 1834. Its inhabitants participated in the independence war against Napoleon\u00b4s troops and Ulldecona was an important Carlist town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second half of the 19th<\/sup> century correspond to its modernization, the arrival of the railway with the opening of the station in 1867, the demolition of the wall and the plaza tower will determinate the town evolution.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once the train station and its services and facilities (hangars, platforms, stores etc…) were fully urbanized, the used lands were auctioned by the Town Hall. During this first expansion area of Ulldecona, factories, warehouses and transport companies were settled.<\/p>\n

Casa Roure opened in 1897. Mr Bautista Roure Gonel was a skilful businessman who, born in Sant Mateu made his fortune selling flour and grain from town to town. His store of flour, grain, farm products and canned and salted foods, next to the railroad track, was one of the most important ones, and people came from the neighboring villages like Alcanar, Vinar\u00f2s, La S\u00e8nia, Fraginals, Godall… Mr. Batista Roure Gonel was a progressive-minded person, in 1921 he became president of the League of Human Rights and in 1931 was mayor of Ulldecona; it was him who made the public announcement of the Republic proclamation. The civil war (1936-1939) put an end to his luck, he suffered bad experiences with both sides and finally died in 1939. His son, Joan Bautista Roure Agramunt, continued with his company until the 1970s. Then, the changes in social relations and customs, together with the loss of importance of the village made those\u00a0 <\/span>big warehouses senseless and with no futur. From the late 1970s until mid-1990s a factory of synthetic resin (poliester) figures was built there, and from late 1990 until 2018 the spot, now hosting Lo Paseo, used to be a car park.<\/p>\n

Lo Paseo is the popular name which always have had the railway station promenade. This wide street next to the railway has had several names during the XIX and XX centuries, but in Ulldecona has always been known as restaurant Lo Paseo<\/strong>. Even though it does not strictly conform with the Catalan spelling rules we have decided that this must be the name of our restaurant, attaching more importance to the customs than to the norms.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Lo Paseo!<\/strong><\/p>\n
