How we work
At the end of the 18th century, the first building of what would later become the church of Sant Cristòfol was constructed. The boom in maritime trade during this century led to the segregation of the municipality, which was definitively constituted in 1836. Currently, industry and commerce are the economic engines of the city, along with summer tourism and maritime leisure offerings. Other significant activities include floriculture and, to a lesser extent, fishing, which has significantly declined in recent years. The separation from Premià de Dalt led to a significant population growth, driven by the arrival of the railway and improved communications. This demographic increase became notably pronounced, as in the rest of the Maresme municipalities, during the second half of the 20th century.
