Can Cinto Xuà is a fisherman’s hut typical of an 18th-19th-century Costa Brava pueblo. Previously modest fishing villages have since become fashionable resort towns so the interiors of the huts have changed as well — modern design, expensive furniture, and decorative art have replaced fishers’ humble belongings.
To preserve the memories of times long past, the interior of Can Cinto Xuà replicates the traditional dwelling that was common among fishermen of L’Escala, with simple furniture, fishing tools and supplies, cookware and everyday items.
Can Cinto Xuà visits are organized by the Anchovy and Salt Museum. You may leave your phone number at the museum, and when there is enough interest for a group visit, you will be invited to attend a guided tour of Can Cinto Xuà.
