In the Middle Ages, the parish was populated with small villages, such as Engordany, Els Vilars, El Fener and Engolasters, which still maintain the characteristics of their agricultural and farming tradition, although they are now mainly residential. Escaldes has always been more tourism-oriented, thanks to its thermal springs and shopping.
