Village · Pallejà, Baix Llobregat, Barcelona

Pallejà is a municipality in the Llobregat valley, in the province of Barcelona, located between Molins de Rei and Sant Vicenç dels Horts, in the Baix Llobregat district and within the metropolitan area of Barcelona, with 12,006 inhabitants. The municipal area occupies the alluvial plain near the river and part of the Montmany massif, an eastern buttress of the Garraf, with elevations reaching 328 metres while the village itself sits at 48 metres. The vegetation combines remnants of Mediterranean forest with scrubland adapted to the area's limestone soil. Besides the core of Pallejà, the municipality includes Fontpineda, a residential area of detached houses created in 1968 to the west of the village on the former estate of Can Montmany de Sobrerroca, covering 207 hectares.
