Sarrià-Sant Gervasi
Sarrià-Sant Gervasi: hill towns, garden-city fabric and Collserola inside Barcelona's boundary.
Built from annexed hill municipalities (notably Sarrià later than the 1897 wave) and garden suburbs, this district holds some of the city's highest incomes and deepest green interfaces with Collserola. The district groups 6 neighbourhoods with a combined registered population of about 152,943 (padró 2026). The comparative table uses the same definitions and years for every barri. Internal inequalities — income, density, tourism, self-built or Eixample histories — are best read neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Each has its own page with sources.

- Vallvidrera, el Tibidabo i les Planes — Vallvidrera, el Tibidabo i les Planes is one of Barcelona's largest neighbourhoods and one of its least dense: an old parish village on the Collserola ridge, a summit with an amusement park, a basilica and a telecommunications tower, and a railway suburb at les Planes.
- Sarrià — Sarrià was an independent municipality until 4 November 1921, and Carrer Major, Plaça de Sarrià, the church of Sant Vicenç, the former town hall and the market keep its old centre inside Barcelona.
- les Tres Torres — Les Tres Torres is named after three grand houses put up between 1901 and 1903 on the Nena Casas estate; today it can be read in a Gaudí school, a sculptor's house turned library, a market and the site of the Sarrià stadium.
- Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova — Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova is the upper part of the old municipality of Sant Gervasi de Cassoles: a church on the site of a medieval chapel, Gaudí's Bellesguard, a former asylum turned science museum and villa gardens open to the public.
- Sant Gervasi - Galvany — Sant Gervasi - Galvany is the lower, denser part of the old Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, built over the Camp d'en Galvany from 1866 around a monumental brick-and-iron market, and known today for its shops and night life.
- el Putxet i el Farró — El Putxet i el Farró are two neighbourhoods under one name: above, a hill built up from 1870 with summer villas and a park with a lookout; below, passages of terraced houses, modernista villas and an astronomer's house, divided by Ronda del General Mitre.
