The economy of San Andrés de Llavaneras is largely driven by tourism, thanks to its coastal location and proximity to Barcelona. Many visitors come to enjoy the beaches, local restaurants, and cultural festivals, providing a steady stream of income for local businesses. Agriculture, particularly the cultivation of crops such as beans and peas, also plays a role in the local economy, as does viticulture in the nearby wine-growing regions.
The marina, Port Balís, is another economic hub, catering to yachting enthusiasts and fostering the town’s reputation as a destination for upscale tourism. Real estate is also a key sector, with luxury villas and second homes attracting buyers from across Spain and Europe.
The town is also home to a number of artisanal shops and family-run businesses, offering unique products that reflect the local Catalan culture. Event tourism is growing, with corporate retreats, weddings, and cultural events being hosted in the town’s scenic venues.
