Sarrià-Sant Gervasi

Sarrià-Sant Gervasi (District 5) combines most of the former municipality of Sarrià (annexed to Barcelona in 1921) and the former municipality of Sant Gervasi de Cassoles (annexed in 1897). It covers about 20.1 km² and had about 149,200 residents in 2021. A large part of its area is the upland neighbourhood of Vallvidrera, el Tibidabo i les Planes in the Collserola range.

Its six neighbourhoods are Sarrià, Les Tres Torres, Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova, Sant Gervasi - Galvany, El Putxet i el Farró and Vallvidrera, el Tibidabo i les Planes. It borders Les Corts, Gràcia, the Eixample and Horta-Guinardó, and several towns on the other side of Collserola, including Sant Cugat del Vallès.

• The district has the highest per capita income in Barcelona, a high share of university graduates and the city's lowest unemployment rate.
• Sarrià keeps a village feel, with narrow streets and small houses around its main street, Carrer Major de Sarrià, and the Mercat de Sarrià (opened in 1900).
• Several international and private schools are located here, including the Lycée Français de Barcelone and the Italian state school, as well as the La Salle university campus.
• Collserola and Tibidabo are popular for walking and cycling.

The district is served mainly by FGC (Catalan government railways) rather than the TMB metro:

• L6 and S1, S2, S5, S55 services: Muntaner, Sant Gervasi, La Bonanova, Les Tres Torres, Sarrià.
• L7: Plaça Molina, Pàdua, El Putxet, Avinguda Tibidabo.
• L12: Sarrià to Reina Elisenda.
• The Tramvia Blau heritage tram runs from Avinguda Tibidabo.

Housing ranges from apartment blocks in Sant Gervasi and Galvany to houses in Sarrià and the hillside neighbourhoods. As the city's highest-income district, it is generally among the more expensive places to rent; Barcelona's rent caps still apply. We do not cite a district-level rent figure.

The district has many schools, including international and state-subsidised (concertada) schools, and the Collserola hills are close by for outdoor activities. School places at publicly funded schools are allocated by address through the city's admission system.
