From 1948 (municipal development application); commercial development in the 1950s
Albarrosa is a residential development on the slopes of the Sierra de Miramar, in the municipality of Viladecans (Baix Llobregat, Barcelona), bordering Gavà. The subdivision plan was submitted to Viladecans Town Council in 1948 and its development was consolidated during the 1950s, conceiving the enclave as a garden city of second homes with detached buildings and extensive green areas. The development came to comprise forty-four streets and was marketed as the most exclusive residential area of southern Baix Llobregat, 16 km from Barcelona and 8 km from the beach. Advertising of the time highlighted its natural surroundings and the quality of life away from the industrial urban centre.
