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.
