The Malvasía Interpretation Center is rehabilitated
Desarrolla ensures its protection and conservation

The works have consisted in the recovery of the space carrying out a total action through silica shot blasting techniques, reconstruction of lost volumes recovery of stone walls, lime mortar renders, natural wood carpentry with low emission glazing, recovery of the pavements through silica shot blasting, tinting and water repellent treatment.
The Corral de la Vila- CIM is a museum-area to visit and learn about the history and reality of the Malvasía of Sitges, but also a place to try the different varieties of the product and live the production process paying special attention to its tradition, proximity and current social function.
