Buying a flat in Vilassar de Mar
Vilassar de Mar is a seafaring town in the Maresme: small (4 km²) and with everything close at hand, including a beach, a marina, a town centre with plenty of shops and two train stations with services to Barcelona.
Its proximity to Barcelona and its village feel make it one of the most sought-after towns in the Maresme. At 11ars we work in the area every day from Argentona, so here we share what you need to know before buying.
