Garraf (Sitges)
Description
Administratively Garraf belongs to the Sitges municipality. It was formerly a small fishing settlement, but has grown to become a holiday resort and its beach is full in the summertime. It also has a small RENFE railway station.
Garraf has a sports marina (Port del Garraf) which was originally built in 1902 as a harbor for freighters loading stone from the nearby limestone quarries.
Garraf has a small whitewashed church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. There is a house known as Celler Güell (Guell Winery) that was built by Antoni Gaudí. Presently it houses the premises of a restaurant.
Garraf village is quite picturesque, being located at the foot of the Garraf Massif, but the quarries nearby can mean a lot of dust is blown about on windy days in the fall and in the winter.
