Vallbona, Barcelona
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vallbona is a neighbourhood in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain), in the city's northern outskirts.
It covers an area of 0.6 square kilometres (0.23 sq mi), in a hilly region just south of Montcada, between on one side the railway lines running alongside the Besòs river, and on the other side the motorways running along the valley which separate the village from the rest of Barcelona. It is connected to Torre Baró and the rest of the Nou Barris district by a bridge spanning the motorways.[1]
Vallbona was a small village until the middle of the twentieth century when most of it was demolished, the Rec Comtal canal mostly covered over, and high-density housing built. The motorways were built starting in the 1960s.[2]
Its population in 2013 was 1,330, giving a population density of 2,224 per km2.[3]
