The 8 towns with the best price for their distance from Barcelona
A town makes the list if, to pay less than there, you have to move further from Barcelona. This month that is 8 among the 114 towns (out of 124) that have both a registered price and driving minutes to Plaça Catalunya. No weights, no scores: two figures and one rule.

The badge
Towns on the area's frontier carry it on their page, with the edition month. Anyone can put it on their site, free and without asking; change the town in the address.
<a href="https://verithic.com/areas/sant-adria-de-besos"><img src="https://verithic.com/badge/frontera/sant-adria-de-besos?lang=en" alt="On the frontier · October 2026: Sant Adrià de Besòs" width="240" height="64"></a>How it is calculated
All 123 published towns around Barcelona take part, except Barcelona itself, the destination. Two figures for each. Town A beats town B if it has the same or fewer minutes and the same or lower €/m², and is better on at least one. The frontier is every town nobody beats.
Registered price: Generalitat de Catalunya, Secretaria d'Habitatge — compravendes registrades, €/m² built area of resale homes sold, Jul 2025–Jun 2026. Read on 11 October 2026.
Minutes: by car, no traffic, from the town centre (Cap de municipi) to Plaça Catalunya. OSRM over OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), calculated by Verithic. Read on 11 October 2026. Google Maps, with Sunday-afternoon traffic (11 October 2026), gives 2 to 9 minutes more for the four we checked (Badia del Vallès, Montcada i Reixac, Santa Coloma de Gramenet and Sant Llorenç Savall), and their order stays the same.
Minimum to take part: 30 sales in the period. With fewer, a handful of sales moves the average. The median is 141.5 sales; this month 4 are left out (Cabrera de Mar, 25; Castellví de Rosanes, 23; Ullastrell, 25; Sant Esteve de Palautordera, 10). No published price: Òrrius, Sant Iscle de Vallalta, La Palma de Cervelló, Gallifa, Rellinars.
Every month, with the new reading of the sources, an edition comes out at its own address. The frontier moves when the Generalitat publishes a new quarter.
