Why this destination is a must-visit

Curiosities of Malgrat de Mar (Barcelona Coast)

Malgrat de Mar, on the Barcelona Coast, is a destination full of surprises. Behind the calm image of a seaside town lies a story of engineering feats, resilience and an impressive transformation.

Here are some of its most striking curiosities:

  • The “aviary” in the sea: La Pilona
    walk along Malgrat Beach and you’ll spot a rusty iron structure rising from the water. Known as La Pilona, it once marked the end of an aerial cable system that transported iron from the Can Palomeres mines to ships offshore. A true engineering marvel of the early 20th century, it is now an iconic symbol of the town and a favourite resting place for cormorants.

  • Castle Park: a balcony with a space-age lift
    at the top of a hill in the town centre stands Parc del Castell. Beyond its 360° views, the real curiosity is its inclined panoramic lift. Free to use, it takes you from the historic centre to the peaceful gardens in under a minute.

  • Francesc Macià Park: the land of giants
    Malgrat is home to one of Catalonia’s most original parks. In Parc de Francesc Macià, everything is oversized: giant pencils, erasers as big as cars and huge sculptures of cakes and sweets. Adults feel tiny, children feel like they’ve stepped into a fairy tale.

  • A church that looks like a cathedral
    The Church of Sant Nicolau is known as the “Cathedral of the Coast”. Built in the 18th century, its imposing size and interior often surprise visitors, who mistake it for a cathedral despite the town’s modest scale.

  • The origin of its name
    according to popular legend, “Malgrat” comes from “mal grat”, meaning unpleasant, referring to the marshy land where the town was founded. Over time, those marshes became fertile orchards, now famous for the prized mongeta del ganxet bean.

  • The Civil War shelter
    beneath the church square lies a restored air-raid shelter from the Spanish Civil War. Open to visitors, it offers a powerful and moving glimpse into Malgrat’s strategic past.

  • The Tordera Delta and flamingos
    Malgrat marks the border between Barcelona and Girona provinces. After recent storms, the mouth of the Tordera River transformed into a new lagoon, now attracting flamingos and migratory birds never seen here before.

7.6 Mykola Travelled with family September 2024
delicious variety of food, close to the beach,
very noisy there is no soundproofing in the rooms. hear the neighbors absolutely everything. there is a disco in the hotel, music is played all night until morning. it is impossible to rest at night. we didn't sleep for 7 nights. the hotel is completely aimed at young people. I do not recommend for families with children.
Very good

El servicio de animación fue estupendo! Arianda es un encanto!
En ningún momento nos dejaron juntar dos mesas, para sentarnos juntos dos familias (6 personas en total) cuando había mesas de 4 y de 2 justo de lado. No entiendo porqué, lo ibamos a dejar todo igual después de comer.

Comida variada y rica, camas muy cómodas, habitaciones espaciosas. Nos pusieron dos cunitas. Personal amable. Buena ubicación.
Demasiada rigidez con la organización del comedor. Fuimos dos familias juntas y no nos permitían juntar mesas, ni usar las de seis plazas (alegando que estaban reservadas, cuando ya no iba a venir nadie más). A pesar de que molestábamos más con los carros poniéndonos en dos mesas distintas.

8 Daniela Travelled with couple September 2026 They have lots of activities in the bar and the buffet is varied, the staff are very attentive and that creates a good atmosphere.
Tienen muchos planes en el bar y el buffet es diverso, las personas son muy atentas y eso crea un buen ambiente.
The bed was two single beds pushed together and very uncomfortable; they kept coming apart during the night. The bathroom has a grille that opens directly to the next one, so we could hear eeeeverything that happened in the adjoining bathroom.
La cama eran dos sencillas unidas muy incómodas y en la noche se separaban, el baño tiene una reja que va directo al otro, lo cual escuchábamos toooodo lo que pasaba en el baño contiguo.

8.3 Montse Travelled with couple September 2026 Everything was fine
Estaba todo correcto
On arrival they didn’t give us adjoining rooms because they said they hadn’t been requested. I don’t think that’s right — if you book for four people it’s because you’re travelling together. It doesn’t make much sense. They put us on different floors, saying that because we hadn’t booked directly with the hotel we should have phoned them. If they have problems with the booking platforms they shouldn’t be offered through them.
A la llegada no nos dieron las habitaciones juntas porque no se habían pedido. Cosa q creo no es correcto porque si hace una reserva de 4 personas es porque van juntas. No tiene mucho sentido. Nos las dieron en diferentes plantas. Alegando q como no hicimos la reserva directa por el hotel , pues teníamos q haberles llamado. Si tienen algún problema con las plataformas de reservas q no se oferten a través de ellas.

El hotel está bien . El bufet muy bueno. La habitación con camas incómodas. Tolerable.
Maintenance. I suppose that because it was a Jump2spain.com price they don't give better rooms. The TV only showed half the screen. The beds were uncomfortable.
Mantenimiento. Supongo que al ser precio Busco chollo no te dan mejores habitaciones. El televisor se veía solo media pantalla. Las camas incómodas.

Hemos estado bien, sitio tranquilo y cómodo
Mediocre quality in many areas and the food was awful. Very little variety and what there was tasted bad. You can hear absolutely everything in the rooms, as if you were in the same living room. Facilities a bit neglected and the rooms are basic.
Calidad justita en muchas cosas y la comida nefasta. Muy poca variedad y la poca que habia estaba de mal sabor Las habitaciones se escuchan absolutamente todo como si estuvieras en la misma sala Instalaciones un poco dejadas y las habitaciones bueno básicas

9.7 Santiago Travelled with family September 2026 I'm really delighted with the cleanliness, the hotel staff and the food. Although the hotel has car park, you can easily park nearby — it's very central and everything is close, with the beach right in front. The only downside for me is that the sand is very coarse and it's difficult to move around on it. Other than that, I would come back.
La verdad súper encantada con la limpieza,el personal del hotel y la comida , aunque el hotel tiene parking puedes aparcar fácilmente en las inmediaciones es muy céntrico y todo lo tienes cerca la playa justo al frente lo único malo para mí es que la arena es muy gorda y es difícil acceso para moverse por lo demás volvería al repetir
Just to say, what I found most problematic was that there are only two lifts and they’re small, which makes going up and down difficult at peak times like breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Por decir algo ,lo que vi más complicado es el tema de que solo se cuenta con dos ascensores y son pequeños eso dificultad tanto subir como bajar en horarios picos como son desayunos, almuerzos y cena

9.4 Ingrid Travelled with family September 2026 What I liked most was the proximity and easy access to the nightlife spots. It’s also very close to the beach. The food was good value for money.
Lo que más me ha gustado es la cercanía y acceso a los locales de ocio. Además, está muy cerca de la playa. La comida, calidad precio bien.
There aren’t enough sunbeds by the pool for so many people. Also, they’re fixed and can’t be adjusted, so you have to lie completely flat.
Las hamacas de la piscina se quedan cortas, para tanta gente. también decir, que son fijas no se pueden regular has de estar totalmente tumbada.

4.7 Jesica Travelled with family September 2026 The lady with glasses at reception was very, very friendly. And the people who stayed at the hotel were lovely — I have good memories of them.
La señora de gafas de recepción muy muy amable. Y personas que iban al hotel muy buenos me llevo un buen recuerdo de ellos..
Shameful towel they gave me — I’ve seen better ones in the bin. And embarrassing that my daughter wasn’t allowed in the pool with a float even though she took up no space and the pool was empty. The towels were far too old and the pool fountain didn’t work. The dining-room staff were very rude, stern and curt.
Vergüenza de la toalla que me pusieron las he visto mejores en la basura.. y vergonzoso que mi hija no pudiese meterse con flotador en la piscina que no ocupaba sitio y encima estaba vacía las toallas demasiado viejas y la fuente de la piscina no funcionaba.. Los del comedor los trabajadores eran muy bordes serios y secos...

8.6 Maria Adoracion Travelled with couple September 2026 The breakfast was very complete, although the dinners were a bit weaker. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. The staff were very kind and friendly. We had a problem with my hammock and mentioned it at reception, and the maintenance man fixed it straight away. The hotel offers very good value for money. The area is great — we didn’t know it before, but we liked it.
El desayuno muy completo, las cenas un poco más flojas. Camas cómodas y habitaciones amplias. El personal muy amable y simpáticos. Tuvimos un problema con mi hamaca y lo comentamos en recepción y enseguida el señor de mantenimiento nos lo soluciono. El hotel está muy bien relación calidad precio. La zona está muy bien, no la conocíamos pero nos ha gustado.
There are no toilets by the pool; you have to be dry to use the reception bathroom. The shower gel and shampoo dispensers are placed for very tall people — I’m 1.54 m and could barely reach.
No hay baños en la piscina, hay que estar seco para poder entrar al baño de recepción. El gel y champú de la ducha está colgados para personas muy altas, yo mido 1,54 y casi no llegaba.
