Joan de Sagarra i Devesa (born 8 January 1939) is a Catalan journalist and writer, son of the poet Josep Maria de Sagarra.

[1] De Sagarra studied at the Institut d'Études Théâtrals of the Sorbonne, and when back in Barcelona he worked as a journalist for Tele/eXpres, El País and El Temps, among other publications.

He still writes columns for La Vanguardia newspaper.

The majority of its members came from the well-to-do classes of the Catalan capital.
