Today, Sarrià still retains a village atmosphere, even in the middle of Barcelona, with narrow streets and small houses.[1] The main street of Sarrià is Major de Sarrià.

The main market in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is the Mercat de Sarrià on Passeig Reina Elisenda, which opened in 1900 and was renovated in 1967 and again in 2007.[2]

Part of the Collserola mountain belongs to the district, where the

Observatori Fabra are, and it is a popular place to promenade by bike or by foot or to stop by the road to Sant Cugat
, with impressive views over the city.
