History

Les Botigues de Sitges is the area between Castelldefels and Sitges’ towns, including Port Ginesta, within the Sitges District. Originally, the name came from the Catalan word for the old huts where fishers kept their equipment. This area’s traditional economic activity has always been agriculture, vineyards, farming, and fishing.

Trade with the Colonies first began in Sitges in 1779. This was after Catalonia gained a free trade permit with the Americas.

Before this, Seville and Cadiz had the monopoly of all trade between Spain and “The Indies” (as the Americas and Caribbean were known. Consequently, trade continued until the beginning of the 19th-century, which led to the consolidation of maritime activity in the locality.

Present-day

As a thriving beach community and popular town to live in year-round, Les Botigues de Sitges is very much part of Castelldefels life. Because of this, Spanish and foreigners alike own or rent holiday homes here to enjoy the extensive beach area. Port Ginesta Marina offers a wealth of opportunities for boat owners and yacht charterers.

Additionally, there are plenty of choices here for water sports enthusiasts.
