'''Vallès Occidental''' ({{IPA|ca|bəˈʎɛz uksiðənˈtal}}) is a [[Comarques of Catalonia|comarca (county)]] in the [[Àmbit metropolità de Barcelona|Barcelona]] region in [[Catalonia]] ([[Spain]]). It has two capitals, [[Sabadell]] and [[Terrassa]]. Along with [[Vallès Oriental]], it forms the historical [[Vallès]] region.

== Physical geography ==

Vallès Occidental borders the comarques of [[Bages]] (to the north), [[Vallès Oriental]] (to the north and east), [[Baix Llobregat]] (to the west), and [[Barcelonès]] (to the south). It centers on the Catalan prelittoral depression, limited to the west by the River [[Llobregat]] and to the east by the River [[Caldes river (Spain)|Caldes]]. The northern part of the comarca is mountainous. From west to east, it contains part of the [[Obac]] range (924m altitude at [[Castellsapera]]); the [[massif]]s of [[Sant Llorenç de Munt]] (1095m at [[La Mola]] and 1053m at [[Montcau]]) and [[Puig de la Creu]] (664m); and the [[Sant Sadurní cliffs|Sant Sadurní]] (954m) and [[Farell cliffs]] (789m). At the south of the comarca is the [[Collserola]] range (512m), which forms part of the Catalan [[Littoral]]. Between these various ranges is the valley that gives its name to the comarca.
The valley actually composes two separate [[drainage basin|watershed]]s, the basins of the Llobregat and [[Besòs (river)|Besòs]].

The Llobregat watershed lies to the west of the axis that runs from [[Obac]] to [[Tibidabo]] (culminating point of the [[Collserola]] range), passing through [[Matadepera]], [[Sant Quirze del Vallès]], [[Bellaterra]], and [[Sant Cugat del Vallès]]. Tributaries of the Llobregat  include the [[Canyamssos]], the [[Rubí, Barcelona|Rubí]] and the [[Vallvidrera]]. East of that axis, the watershed of the Besòs includes the rivers [[Ripoll]] and Caldes, (the latter forming the eastern border of the comarca).

=== Major natural parks ===
* [[Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç de Munt i Serra de l'Obac]]
* [[Parc de Collserola]]

=== Hiking trails ===
Vallès Occidental has several notable official hiking trails, known as 
''"senders de gran recorregut"''.

* '''GR-6''': [[Barcelona]] – [[Montserrat (mountain)|Montserrat]] (Classic route to [[Montserrat (mountain)|Montserrat]]).
* '''GR-96''': Barcelona – Montserrat (Roman road to Montserrat).
* '''GR-97''': [[Abrera]] – [[Sant Celoni]] (From the Llobregat to the [[Tordera]]).
* '''GR-173''': Circumnavigation of Vallès Occidental.

==Human and economic geography==
Industry is concentrated in the south, coinciding with the flattest land in the comarca. The principal industrial cities are the co-capitals [[Sabadell]] and [[Terrassa]], as well as [[Rubí, Barcelona|Rubí]] and [[Cerdanyola del Vallès]]. The most important industries are [[textile]]s, mechanical engineering, [[metallurgy]], machinery, [[electrical equipment]], construction, [[chemical]]s, [[paper]], and the processing of food products. An industrial crisis at the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s led to a greater importance for the commercial and service sectors, especially [[computer]]-related work.

The north remains primarily rural. Many of the residences there now function as second homes.

=== Transportation ===
Much of Catalonia's transportation network passes through Vallès Occidental, with roads, railroads, etc. crossing the valley in various directions.

====Motorways====
* [[Autopista AP-7|'''AP-7''']] crosses Vallès in an east-west direction. Heading west, it connects Vallès with [[Tarragona]], [[València]] and the southern part of the [[Iberian Peninsula]], similarly to the '''A-2/AP-2''' (which connects [[Barcelona]], [[Lleida]], and [[Zaragoza]]). Heading east, it connects Vallès with the province of [[Girona (province)|Girona]] and with [[France]].
* '''C-58''' crosses the comarca south to north, connecting Barcelona with [[Manresa]] by wy of [[Montcada i Reixac]], [[Ripollet]], [[Cerdanyola del Vallès]], [[Sabadell]], and [[Terrassa]].
* Manresa, Terrassa, and Barcelona are also connected by '''C-16''' or the [[Vallvidrera Tunnels]], by way of [[Sant Cugat del Vallès]] and [[Rubí, Barcelona|Rubí]].
* '''C-33''' connects [[Montcada i Reixac]] and [[Mollet del Vallès]], connecting the northern part of Barcelona with autopista '''AP-7''' to the northeast.

====Highways====
* '''N-150''', the principal highway of the comarca, crosses south to north, connecting Barcelona to [[Terrassa]] by way of [[Montcada i Reixac]], [[Ripollet]], [[Cerdanyola del Vallès]], [[Barberà del Vallès]], and [[Sabadell]]. Beyond Terrassa, various ''carreteres comarcals'' complete the comarca's network:
* '''C-1413''' starts at [[Molins de Rei]], connects to the '''[[Carretera Nacional N-II|N-II]]''' and '''[[N-340 (Carretera)|N-340]]''' and the motorway '''A-2''', and passes through Rubí, Sabadell, and [[Sentmenat]] before connecting finally to the '''N-152''' at the heights of [[Centelles]].
* '''C-1415''' connects [[Vilafranca del Penedès]] ('''N-340'''), [[Sant Sadurní d'Anoia]], and [[Martorell]] ('''A-7''', '''N-II''') to [[Granollers]] and [[Mataró]] ('''N-II''', '''A-19''') passing through  Terrassa, [[Matadepera]], [[Castellar del Vallès]], and Sentmenat.
* '''C-155''' connects Sabadell to [[Granollers]], passing through [[Polinyà]] and [[Palau de Plegamans]].

====Railroads====
Both railroad companies that operate in Catalonia have lines in Vallès Occidental. [[Renfe]]'s Barcelona-Lleida line passes through Manresa.
The [[Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya]] have the "Metro del Vallès", connecting Barcelona to Sabadell and Terrassa.

====Airports====
Most air traffic for Vallès Occidental comes through [[El Prat de Llobregat|Prat]] airport in neighboring [[Baix Llobregat]]. [[Sabadell Airport]] is used for sport flying, as a base for firemen, and for air freight.
