I know it says "this" summer, but I think "last" is more appropriate here.

agree  Carol Gullidge: yes, not far from Barcelona/Calella. Not sure about 'last'...

  -> Thanks Carol. Yes, "last" is debatable!

agree  DDM

  -> ¡Gracias de nuevo, Daniel!

agree  Gad Kohenov: Good translation. By the way l'Alt Maresme is in Catalonia. Alt means High and Maresme comes from Mare no doubt.

this summer has seen XXXX grow to reach l'Alt Maresme


Explanation:
"Extended" makes me think of an extension on a house rather than a city sprawl (I avoid sprawl although it is tempting, but then I would be guilty of including a value judgment in the translation!)

Apologies for being guilty of "not reading the question" - I take this translation back! The first translation sent in is of course more appropriate. Perhaps "this summer distribution of XXX has extended to..."
