Real Estate Experts in Sitges and surrounding areas for Expats

Buying property south of Barcelona

At Happy Expat, we specialise exclusively in the Garraf area - the region we live in, work in and know inside out.

Rather than covering large parts of Spain, we focus on Sitges, Olivella, Sant Pere de Ribes and Vilanova i la Geltrú, offering a more personal and locally connected approach.

This area south of Barcelona is one of the most attractive locations for international and local buyers - combining Mediterranean lifestyle, proximity to Barcelona and its airport, and a well-established international community.

From the coastal charm of Sitges to the more local feel of Sant Pere de Ribes and the seaside atmosphere of Vilanova, each area offers something slightly different.

Olivella, set within the Garraf Natural Park, is often described as an undiscovered gem - offering space, privacy and nature, with a growing expat community.

If you’d like to understand Olivella more deeply, you can read “Olivella, my love, my life” - a blog article on our website written by Marion, the founder of Happy Expat, who lived there for over 15 years.

What our clients say

"Experiencia increíble, llevaba 6 meses con la casa en venta con otra inmobiliaria y Tania en la primera visita que llevó, la vendió. Trato muy profesional y amigable, nos guió desde el primer día hasta la firma de la venta. Volveré a contar con ella para mi próxima vivienda."
