In Catalan it means 'towers'. It's the surname of Catalunia's premiere vintner and Torres wines are sold all over the world...

Catalunia is a Spanish province in the North East of Spain. The capital of Catalunia is Barcelona and Catalunians are proud to be Catalunians! Franco tried to repress their independent spirit but he didn't have a chance...
