The economy of Argentona has traditionally been rooted in agriculture and ceramics. The town is particularly known for its craftsmanship in creating water jugs, which have been exported throughout Spain and beyond. Over time, these jugs became a symbol of Argentona’s cultural and economic identity, and they continue to be a significant part of the town’s local craft industry.
In addition to ceramics, Argentona has developed a growing tourism industry, thanks to its proximity to Barcelona and the Costa del Maresme. The town’s natural beauty and cultural heritage attract a steady stream of visitors, contributing significantly to its local economy. Small-scale agriculture, particularly vineyards and olive groves, also remain important to the region’s economy.
The town also benefits from its strategic location near Barcelona, which allows for easy trade and business opportunities. Argentona’s industries are a combination of traditional crafts and more modern sectors, with an emphasis on sustainability and local production.
