What are the best areas to buy a house around Barcelona.?

Question

I do not want to live in the city as I have a small child. I am an expat in Netherlands looking to move to Barcelona. I want to find a very nice town near Barca to buy a house and raise a family. Must have proximity to city and airport.

Answer 1

Consider Sant Cugat - although property is expensive about 10 miles outside the centre.

Answer 2

I'm from Barcelona and a very nice place to live close to Barcelona and the airport is Sitges or Gavá,  both of them are near the sea (south of Barcelona, around 30 min driving on the highway). This area is a little bit expensive but really nice.
