Family life and schools
in El Maresme.
For many families considering a move to El Maresme, the choice of school plays an important part in deciding where to live. The area offers a mixture of international, private and public education alongside a very different lifestyle from central Barcelona.

El Maresme stretches along the coast north of Barcelona, with each town offering a slightly different combination of schools, transport, beaches, housing and day-to-day life.
