Maresmes

Maresmes is a small village located in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is situated in the Maresme region, a coastal area known for its agricultural production, particularly strawberries and flowers. The village itself is characterized by its charming traditional architecture and a peaceful rural atmosphere, despite its proximity to the Mediterranean coast.

Historically, Maresmes has been an agricultural community. Its development has been influenced by its strategic location, benefitting from the fertile land and access to water resources.
