The "Americanos" Route
Shelter of Sant Josep and Sant Pere
In Ribes, as in every town in the Garraf area, many people went to the Spanish colonies from the latest 18th century to the first third of th 20th Century in order to make fortune. As soon as they reached their goals they came back to Ribes and invested their money in villas and stock exchange, so they contributed to the town growth by building big houses in the colonial style.
The guided tour starts at the tourism information office, then it goes through plaça the l’Església (church’s square), plaça Marcer, plaça de l’Ajuntament (Town’s Hall square), plaça de la Font and ends at Redós de Sant Josep i Sant Pere.
