Before discussing the most important benefits, we consider mentioning some of the best rural and quiet places to live in.

El Masnou.

The first place we want to highlight is Masnou. This is one of the most beautiful fishing towns in the Maresme region and stands out above all for being very close to the city of Barcelona. Although it is the smallest and more remote village, you could enjoy not only the tranquillity of the place thanks to its beaches, but also the shops, the supermarkets, and even the civic centre.

Font Real Estate offers a wide selection of properties to buy or rent in the best locations on the coast of El Maresme.

Sitges

Sitges is another town that we would like to stand out, and it is probably one of the more charming sea villages in the area of all Catalonia. This coastal city belongs to the province of Barcelona and is surrounded by Garraf natural park and you can enjoy its beaches as well as the seafront promenade and its small streets to get lost in.

Pals

The last place we would like to mention is the village of Pals located on the Coast Brava, which has become one of the most beautiful places on the coast. Pals stands out above all for being a medieval village and although it has no great monuments or museums, a stroll through all its stone streets is a perfect plan as you can enjoy its gothic buildings.

In addition, it is important to note that on the Costa Brava, and specifically in Pals, you can find great houses and enjoy some of the most beautiful Catalan beaches in the Mediterranean.
