04 · The neighbourhood’s history

A short history of Horta

The former market square and the work of the washerwomen offer a glimpse into the old town’s past.

From town to Barcelona neighbourhood

Horta was an independent municipality until it became part of Barcelona in 1904. The former market square, now Plaça d’Eivissa, recalls a centre of everyday life that predates that incorporation. The historical photograph shows the square in an earlier period.

Remembering the washerwomen

An abundant water supply supported Horta’s washerwomen, who washed clothes for families in Barcelona. Carrer d’Aiguafreda retains houses and washbasins associated with their trade. Their story records part of the everyday work of women that sustained the local economy.

05 · Sources and methodology

What these
figures tell us

A useful comparison starts with understanding what each figure measures. Open the historical tables and read the notes accompanying each indicator.

Are these asking prices or recorded sale prices?

The market section uses averages from recorded transactions, based on notarial statistics published by the City Council. These differ from the asking prices shown on property portals.

Why do the reference dates differ?

Sales, cadastral, population register and income data are released on different schedules. Each section shows its reference period. Viewing this page today does not mean all indicators relate to the same year.

Does the average floor area cover all homes?

The sales section measures the homes that were sold. The housing stock section measures homes recorded in the cadastre. These are different populations, so their averages can differ.

What do “Suppressed” and “Not published” mean?

“Suppressed” means the source withholds the information to protect confidentiality. “Not published” means no value is available for the category and period shown. Neither expression means zero.

Can I value my home using the price per m²?
