The neighbourhood
Montmar, on the hillside overlooking Castelldefels and the sea.
Montmar is a neighbourhood of sloping streets, homes among pine trees and a close relationship with the natural environment. This is part of its character and also explains many of its day-to-day needs.
Living next to woodland means looking at accessibility, maintenance, fire prevention, mobility and the protection of green spaces together.
What this means in practice
Urban layout and accessibility
Steep gradients and gaps in some pavements make walking routes more difficult.
Green-space maintenance
Caring for the neighbourhood includes streets, paths, vegetation and the transition areas next to woodland.
Planning oversight
The Association follows plans and projects that may affect Montmar's open spaces.
Mobility
The hills make a useful, accessible public-transport service especially important.
