Vallcarca, Sitges

Vallcarca was originally settled by a small group of workers at the Fradera cement plant and nearby quarries.

Some return trips brought coal from mines in Pola de Laviana, also owned by Fradera.

In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, aircraft belonging to the Francoist expeditionary air forces bombed Vallcarca.

At that time it was an important military target owing to the cement plant and its harbor which connected the town with Mallorca.

[3] Some people visit Vallcarca during the summer, as its beach is still in a pristine state, but the leftover dust from the quarries during windy days can be unpleasant.
