A family has moved from Barcelona to Sabadell and says the change has improved their quality of life after being forced to leave the Catalan capital. The account was described in a letter to El Periódico by Eduardo Frías.
Frías said his family has “come out winning” from the move, arguing that life in Sabadell offers advantages they did not find in Barcelona. Sabadell is in the Vallès Occidental region, and the family’s experience points to the appeal of nearby towns for some residents.
The case sits within a wider discussion in Catalonia about housing affordability, urban congestion and the search for better living conditions outside major cities. It also reflects the pressures that can push households to rethink where they live.
