The Garraf Cottages: A Century by the Sea

Marisol Navarro opens her home during the 48h Open House architecture festival to highlight the true history of the Garraf beach houses, originally built as summer residences for the bourgeoisie rather than fishermen. Her grandfather, a textile factory owner, commissioned the construction over a century ago. The houses have evolved, attracting artists and cultural figures, but recent investors are now interested in purchasing them. Marisol, at 82, shares her family's architectural legacy and memories, preserving the original charm of her home. The festival has seen high demand for visits, showcasing both historic and modern architecture in the area.
