Barberà del Vallès (Catalan pronunciation:[bəɾβəˈɾaðəlβəˈʎɛs]) is amunicipality in thecomarca of theVallès Occidental, in the province of Barcelona, Spain. It is situated in the valley of theRipoll river to the south ofSabadell, about 17 kilometers from Barcelona. It is integrated in theMetropolitan Area of Barcelona.
Barberà del Vallès is a city of more than 30,000 people. In the industrial field, it is one of the main cities of the region of Western Valley (Vallés Occidental), with a clear division between the urban and industrial area. The population of the city, enlarged by the internal migration movements in the Spain of the sixties, is varied and promotes cultural and folkloric associations. This can be seen in the April Fair (Feria de Abril), held until the 1980s in Barberà del Vallès, until economic reasons moved it to other locations in the Barcelona metropolitan area.
Barbera in 1985 celebrated its millennium, which coincided with the opening of the Millennium Square in the vicinity of La Romànica, with balconies to Ripoll river and its riverside park.
