What it is like to live in El Maresme: Quality of life between the sea and the mountains

The Maresme region enjoys an enviable geographical position, stretching northward from the border of Barcelona. Thanks to its excellent motorway connections and rail network, it offers an idyllic lifestyle: working in the energy of the city and, within minutes, returning to the absolute peace, privacy and comfort of a home by the Mediterranean.

A privileged natural environment and unique microclimate

With more than 50 kilometres of golden sandy beaches and thousands of protected hectares across its Natural Parks (including the Serralada de Marina and the Montnegre i el Corredor), El Maresme is defined by an exceptional microclimate: warm, dry summers combined with remarkably mild winters that invite outdoor living all year round. This extraordinary quality of life, together with a strong offering of prestigious local and international schools, has made the region the preferred destination for families seeking a healthy, safe and nature-rich environment in which to raise their children.

Sport, leisure and outdoor wellbeing

Entertainment and physical wellbeing are cornerstones of daily life in El Maresme. The region offers a first-class sporting infrastructure:
  • Elite sports and nautical activities: Renowned golf courses, long-established tennis clubs, equestrian centres and modern marinas, including the prestigious Port Balís, ideal for sailing enthusiasts.
  • Cycling and hiking: Mountain lovers have access to endless routes winding through the hills with spectacular panoramic views of the coastline. Road cyclists also benefit from routes connected directly to the Costa Brava, following the same training circuits used by professional riders.

Gastronomic culture and winemaking tradition

The good life in El Maresme is best savoured through its cuisine. Its villages are home to everything from Michelin-starred restaurants to traditional farmhouse eateries serving locally sourced produce. This culinary richness is underpinned by the prestigious Alella Denominació d’Origen, one of the oldest and most recognised wine-producing areas in the country, whose premium white wines and sparkling varieties are a source of local pride and are exported to the world’s most exclusive markets.

A solid, diverse and competitive property market

The residential market in El Maresme demonstrates exceptional strength and resilience. Towns such as Sant Vicenç de Montalt, Cabrils, El Masnou, Alella and Vilassar de Dalt attract consistent demand from both domestic buyers and international profiles seeking to optimise their property investment. The area’s greatest appeal lies in its price per square metre, which is notably more competitive and efficient than that of central Barcelona, allowing buyers to acquire properties with larger plots, private gardens and swimming pools. The region’s property catalogue stands out for its remarkable diversity: from avant-garde new-build villas with smart-home technology and direct sea views, to exclusive restored historic stone farmhouses finished to the highest standard.
“El Maresme is one of the most favoured areas with the easiest access to the centre of Barcelona. It has established itself as the preferred choice for both local investors and international families looking to combine seamless connectivity to the workplace with an enviable coastal lifestyle. Properties in this region continue to offer a highly competitive price per square metre when compared to central Barcelona or other high-end coastal areas.” — Francisco Nathurmal, CEO of Bcn Advisors.

We had a fantastic experience with BCN Advisors right from day one when we reached out to view a property. Unlike other real estate agencies we had contacted previously - where the only goal seemed to be pushing any apartment on the market - the team at BCN Advisors took genuine time to listen, understand our exact requirements, and prioritise properties that truly matched our criteria. A special thank you to Yolanda for the smooth initial coordination and introducing us to Sylwia. Sylwia was absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire search. Extremely professional, dedicated, and attentive, she went out of her way to show us apartments that fit our profile and was the main player in finding our ideal home. When it came to the deposit phase, meeting Raul was pivotal, he was refreshingly direct, business-oriented, transparent, and key to securing the property while ensuring we had total clarity on the current market. The whole experience was seamless, trustworthy, and stress-free. We cannot recommend the BCN Advisors team highly enough!

We started looking at flats to buy with the expectation that it would take long to find one. Might take even years. Two months in, we met with Marisa from BCN Advisors to view a property and we all knew immediately that we found it. Being first-time buyers and not at all prepared for an immediate buy, we had to organise ourselves quite quick not to lose this opportunity. The BCN Advisors team did their best to help us out. Francisco and Raul conneced us with some top local companies to help with financial and legal services and informed us proactively on the status of the process. The team has deep market knowledge, a wide network of connections and the empathy to handle clients with the right level of handholding. We are now happy property owners, and immensly thankful to BCN Advisors.

We sold our house through Bcn Advisors and I would like to commend the staff for the consistent flow of viewings with buyers who truly matched our property type. I was pleased by their dedication throughout the process. A special mention goes to our agent, Sylwia, who was incredibly professional. She successfully closed the sale by effectively highlighting the apartment's full potential and unique features to the buyers.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from BCN Advisors. They were truly outstanding from start to finish. They handled the sale of my flat with the highest level of professionalism, created a wonderful presentation that really showcased the property and achieved a great price. Thanks to their extensive network, including collaboration with other real estate agents, the flat reached the right buyers quickly and effectively. What impressed me most was how smooth they made the entire process, offering clear and reliable legal guidance and taking care of all the necessary documentation so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. A seamless, stress-free experience and a result beyond my expectations. Thanks Raul and Jose!!
