'''Maresme''' ({{IPA|ca|məˈɾɛzmə}}) is a ''[[Comarques of Catalonia|comarca]]'' (county) in the [[Àmbit metropolità de Barcelona|Barcelona]] region in [[Catalonia]], located along the [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean]] coast, between the ''comarques'' of [[Barcelonès]] (at the Southwest) and [[Selva]] (at the Northeast), and also bordering with [[Vallès Oriental]] (at the west).
Its capital and largest city is [[Mataró]] (pop. 119,035 in 2007).
==Geography==
Maresme occupies a long and narrow area between the [[Mediterranean Sea]] and the hills of Serralada Litoral (Catalonia's coastal mountains), and specifically Montnegre's and {{not a typo|Corredor}}'s hills in the northern half and Sant Mateu's hills in the southern half. This particular shape has conditioned both the geography and the history of this ''comarca''. Probably the main distinct elements of its geography are the characteristic ''rieres'' (torrents). These short, intermittent streams, which cross the ''comarca'' transversally about every hundred meters, produce powerful and dangerous floods when it rains.

Maresme has been historically very well connected with the rest of the ''comarca'' as well as with [[Barcelona]] by the old ''Camí Ral'' (Royal Way) (current [[Carretera Nacional N-II|N-II]] main road) and railroad (The Barcelona–Mataró railroad route, finished in 1848, was the first ever in all the [[Iberian Peninsula]]). Communications were enhanced in recent years with the construction of the [[Autopista C-32|C-32]]'s Barcelona–Mataró section (1969), which was the first ''autopista'' (highway) ever in Spain, and its subsequent enlargement, the Mataró-Palafolls's section (1995).
