Its recent history speaks of a town that lived from the sea. From a fishermen's settlement that from the 18th century, when piracy ceased, in a short time became fruitful thanks to the richness of these waters. Another boost to its economy came with the port. With it came the possibility of sending local products apart from fish such as corn, wheat or rice from the fields of Pals to markets such as Barcelona. Today, as in many other corners of the Costa Brava, one of its main economic activities is tourism. Especially family tourism and those professionals and fans of diving and the sea.
