Carrer de Canet has become one of the neighbourhood's main civic hubs. It links Carrer Major de Sarrià and Carrer de la Mare de Déu de Núria, in the old part of Sarrià.

A street for pedestrians

Nowadays, these well-restored houses are home to neighbourhood organisations, including a nursery school and the district’s Housing Office. There are also crafts people from various sectors who showcase their talents. As with a lot of streets in the old part of Sarrià, Carrer de Canet is primarily a pedestrian area, a quiet place that invites you to stroll around or stop and chat.

The Canet family were big landowners who took part in Sarrìa local government in the 17th century. The houses built for the family’s workers were on the point of being demolished in the 1970s, but they were finally renovated.

Casa sangrà

On one corner of Carrer de Canet there is the Sangrà family’s imposing manor house, completely covered in Bougainvillea (ornamental vines). It has a large cast-iron gate that still bears a coat of arms sculpted in stone.
