Sant Pol de Mar is an authentic Mediterranean seaside town on the Costa del Maresme, in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Just 45 minutes from central Barcelona, it has a population of around 5,000 residents. Known for its whitewashed houses, peaceful coves, culinary heritage and charming residential areas, the town combines coastal tranquility with cultural richness.
GG Real Estate Barcelona presents Sant Pol de Mar as an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic Mediterranean lifestyle, high quality of life and solid investment potential.

Mediterranean architecture:
Sant Pol has preserved its fishing village character: white facades, narrow streets, vaulted arcades and terraces with sea views. Arguably one of the most “Instagrammable” towns in the region.

Far from mass tourism, the town attracts artists, chefs, architects and families seeking balance between nature, culture and serenity.
Michelin legacy:
Sant Pol was home to the legendary Sant Pau restaurant by Carme Ruscalleda — the first female chef in Spain to earn 7 Michelin stars. Today, the Espai Gastronomic Sant Pau continues her legacy through culinary events and fine dining.
