It is, therefore, a very diverse town, as over the course of its history it has been home to fishermen, miners (in the early 20th century, the mines of Can Palomeres were exploited, though they are now closed) and farmers, who still cultivate the lands of the Grau Plain today. Around 1960, tourism began to develop in the municipality; it is now a well-established destination, with a wide range of establishments that have evolved over time.
