Welcome to Sarrià – Sant Gervasi

Sarrià – Sant Gervasi is the high-end residential area par excellence: tranquillity, green areas, benchmark schools and spacious family housing. Stable market, elevated tickets and a consolidated local buyer.

It encompasses several neighbourhoods with their own identities (Sarrià, Sant Gervasi, Galvany, Putxet, Tres Torres) in the upper part of the city, with views and proximity to Collserola.

An Urban Legacy: History and Evolution

The former town of Sarrià

Sarrià was an independent town until 1921. It preserves an old quarter with pedestrian streets (Major de Sarrià) and a traditional central square.

Residential development

Throughout the 20th century, the upper zone consolidated as a prestige residential area for the bourgeoisie and professionals. Single-family houses, international schools and premium services.
