Sant Andreu

Sant Andreu (District 9) lies in the north of Barcelona, bordered by the Besòs river and the towns of Sant Adrià de Besòs and Santa Coloma de Gramenet. It covers about 6.6 km² and had about 149,800 residents in 2022.

Its seven neighbourhoods are Sant Andreu de Palomar (the most populous, about 57,800 residents in 2019), La Sagrera, Trinitat Vella, Baró de Viver, Bon Pastor, El Congrés i els Indians and Navas.

• Sant Andreu de Palomar was an independent municipality until it was annexed to Barcelona by royal decree on 20 April 1897; its old centre gives the district its name.
• The district has an industrial past: the Pegaso truck and bus factory (formerly Hispano-Suiza) stood where the Parc de la Pegaso is today.
• Local associations (entitats) are active in Sant Andreu de Palomar, Bon Pastor, Trinitat Vella and La Sagrera.
• La Sagrera is one of Barcelona's three major urban transformation projects, according to the city council.

• Metro L1 (Navas, Fabra i Puig, Sant Andreu, Torras i Bages, Trinitat Vella, Baró de Viver).
• Metro L5 (Congrés, Sagrera).
• Metro L9 and L10 (Sagrera, Onze de Setembre, Bon Pastor).
• La Sagrera is an interchange between L1, L4, L5, L9 and L10.

Housing ranges from the older centre of Sant Andreu de Palomar to blocks in the neighbourhoods that grew around it. Barcelona's rent caps apply; check the previous rent and reference index before signing. We do not cite a district-level rent figure.

The Parc de la Pegaso is a local green space on the former factory site. Active local associations organise neighbourhood life. School places are allocated by address through the city's admission system.
