The Costa de Barcelona (Maresme)
The Costa de Barcelona (Maresme) is the coastal strip north of Barcelona, between the Mediterranean and the coastal range. It is one of the most attractive residential areas in Catalonia for those who want to live close to the city with more space and privacy: beaches, marinas, a golf course and good connections via the C-32 motorway and the coastal railway. If you are looking for houses for sale in the Maresme, this page brings together the full BARNES selection in the area.
The landscape combines seafront towns and hillside villages, among vineyards and the woods of the Serralada Litoral and Montnegre i el Corredor parks. This variety explains why houses with gardens very close to Barcelona, villas with open sea views and inland masias coexist here.
