Costa del Maresme is a picturesque coastal area in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Stretching from the town of Montgat to Blanes, the coastline begins right outside Barcelona and includes over 30 municipalities along the Mediterranean Sea. The region is just 20–60 minutes away from Barcelona and El Prat International Airport, and less than an hour from the French border. The combined population of the Costa del Maresme municipalities is approximately 450,000 people.
Costa del Maresme offers a unique blend of beachside living, secluded areas, well-developed infrastructure, and direct transportation links to Barcelona. This makes it especially appealing to families, investors, yacht owners, and professionals who work in the city but prefer a relaxed and prestigious seaside lifestyle.
GG Real Estate Barcelona presents Costa del Maresme as the ideal destination for living, leisure, and real estate investment by the sea, close to a major city.
