Cubelles’ economy is driven largely by tourism, agriculture, and local commerce. As a coastal town, it attracts visitors, especially in the summer months, boosting the hospitality and service industries. Small businesses, local crafts, and restaurants thrive during the tourist season, making the town economically vibrant. The local fishing industry, though smaller than in the past, continues to contribute to the economy, providing fresh seafood to local markets and restaurants.
Agriculture, particularly viticulture, plays an important role in the region, with the nearby Penedès wine region being one of the largest and most famous wine-producing areas in Catalonia. Cubelles benefits from its proximity to the vineyards, as local wine and related products, like cava (a type of sparkling wine), are popular both locally and for export.
Local craftsmanship is also present in Cubelles, where small artisans produce traditional goods such as ceramics and textiles. The town’s economy is well-rounded and reflects the influence of both modern and traditional industries.
