Non-residents of the Area

What is a non-resident of AREA?

A non-resident is any person who wishes to use parking spaces—whether they are from Barcelona or from outside—and who does not meet the requirements to park as a resident of the area.

What types of parking are available for non-residents?

If you are not a resident of the area where you wish to park, you may park for the maximum time indicated on the vertical signage, within the regulated hours.

This maximum time is usually 2 hours.

This rotation system allows more people to use parking in the city, which is a limited resource.

Non-residents may park in:

• Blue spaces
• Green spaces

Parking is not permitted in:

• AREA Resident-Only spaces

In this case, it is mandatory to have a parking time ticket, which can be obtained at the parking meter or via the SMOU app or other authorised applications.

Please note that the non-resident rate applies according to the vehicle’s environmental label, in accordance with the current tax ordinance.

If using a parking meter, please note that it is no longer necessary to display the payment ticket inside the vehicle.
