Cambrils’ economy is primarily driven by tourism, thanks to its idyllic location on the Costa Dorada and its reputation as a family-friendly holiday destination. The town’s many hotels, resorts, and restaurants cater to the steady influx of visitors, especially during the summer months. Fishing is another key industry in Cambrils, and the town’s fishing harbor is one of the largest in the region. Fresh seafood is a cornerstone of the local economy, with much of the day’s catch being sold directly to local restaurants and markets.
In addition to tourism and fishing, agriculture plays an important role in Cambrils’ economy. The surrounding region is known for its production of olive oil, almonds, and wine, all of which are important local products. Cambrils also has a growing number of artisanal businesses, offering unique handmade goods, from ceramics to traditional Catalan crafts.
With its strong economic base in tourism, fishing, and agriculture, Cambrils continues to thrive as both a tourist hotspot and a hub of local industry.
