Sarrià has preserved the village charm that captivated the Catalan bourgeoisie in the 19th century. Its narrow streets and squares revolve around carrer Major, with sidewalks designed for pedestrians and residents who continue to greet each other, perpetuating a true community spirit.
The influence of artisans and bourgeois families, who built their vacation homes here, transformed Sarrià into one of the most elegant and prosperous neighborhoods in Barcelona. This past splendor is still reflected in its modernist architecture, especially visible in the historic center, the passatge de Mallofré, and the plaça de Sant Vicenç.
Today, that same charm makes Sarrià one of the most sought-after neighborhoods for those looking to buy apartments in Barcelona. At BARNES Barcelona, a luxury real estate agency in Barcelona, we offer a carefully curated selection of properties in Sarrià, all chosen for their unique character and privileged environment.
Strolling through Sarrià is a gentle and poetic experience. Near the central square, you will find cafes, pastry shops, and century-old restaurants blending tradition and literary heritage, such as the Foix pastry shop, an institution over 125 years old, famous for its sweets and connection to the poet J.V. Foix. For local gastronomy lovers, Bar Tomàs, located on carrer Major, is a must-visit, renowned for having some of the best patatas bravas in the city.
Although Sarrià was annexed to Barcelona in 1921, the neighborhood has retained its independent spirit. Its squares, houses, and shops tell the story of a village faithful to its essence. This strong identity, combined with an exceptional quality of life, makes apartments in Sarrià an ideal choice for those seeking tradition, elegance, and modernity in perfect harmony.
