Badia del Vallès

02History

The origins of Badia del Vallès date back to the 1960s when a government plan aimed to create a residential area on the outskirts of Barberá del Vallés and Sardañola del Vallés. The construction of the first phase began in 1970, but due to infrastructure developments, only a fraction of the planned homes were completed. The municipality was officially established on April 14, 1994, after separating from its neighboring towns.
