Fatal drownings on Catalan beaches are becoming chronic

Fatal drownings along the 280 kilometers of beaches in Catalonia, from north to south, occur throughout the bathing season, from mid-June to the end of September. Despite the resources invested in prevention, self-protection campaigns, lifeguarding, surveillance, and rescues, the mortality rate on beaches due to drownings in the sea has become chronic. Between 20 and 25 bathers drown each summer. In the last six bathing seasons (2021-2026), a total of 129 people went for a swim on a Catalan beach but never returned.

Despite the perception that investment companies dominate the buying and selling of homes in Barcelona, the data shows that the vast majority of transactions in the Catalan capital are still carried out by individuals. According to a report prepared by the Cambra de la Propietat Urbana de Barcelona with data from the Notary Statistical Portal, individuals accounted for 87% of the sales registered in 2025, compared to 13% signed by legal entities.

The battle of the big brands for the wealthiest tourist drives up the m2 of Passeig de Gràcia
