Montmeló: Location and surroundings of this property

The municipality of Montmeló is located in the Vallés Oriental, just 20 km from Barcelona, has almost 9,000 inhabitants and is a basically residential municipality that has been characterised by its very orderly urban growth, with many areas of low density housing, large spaces and green areas. In 1991 the Circuit de Catalunya was inaugurated, built mostly in the municipality of Montmeló, which has made the name of the town known all over the world. The municipality conserves an important archaeological heritage, mainly due to the sites from the Roman-Republican period, including the Roman villa of Can Massot, in the town centre, and the site of Can Tacó on the Tres Creus mountain. The latter has been declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest in the category of archaeological site. The town has a wide range of cultural, sporting, educational and leisure activities that take place in the different municipal facilities: music school, library, cultural centre, multi-purpose hall, primary and secondary schools, nursery, sports pavilion, football pitch, swimming pools, sports courts, adult education centres, centre for the elderly, occupational training centre, museum and primary care centre. It should be noted that the municipality is a town with very good public transport links (train and bus station) as well as by road where we highlight the AP7, one of the main communication routes with the rest of Europe, the C17 (Barcelona-Vic) and the C33.
