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.

8 Silvia Travelled with family July 2026 Good location, on the seafront and a 5-minute walk from the beach. Quiet and clean.
Buena ubicación, en el mismo paseo y a 5 minutos andando a la playa. Tranquilo y limpio.
The room air could not be adjusted and it was too hot. The buffet was very limited, with little variety.

7.7 Jose Luis Travelled with couple July 2026 The food and the reason: why the man in charge of the griddle insisted on making me an omelette with what he had there — cheese, mushrooms, tuna... When I told him I would bring sliced ham and asked him to make it with that, he said he doesn't do that. Incomprehensible — I want an explanation.
La comida y el motivo de saber porque el señor encargado de la plancha se empecinó que tenía que hacerme una tortilla de lo que el tenía allí,queso,champiñones,atún...cuando le digo que yo le traigo jamón cortado y que me la haga de eso y me comenta que eso no lo hace el..incomprensible..que me lo expliquen

8.9 Vicente Travelled with couple July 2026 What we like most about this hotel is the way the staff treat guests. We have been going there for several years and they have always treated us exceptionally well.
Lo que más nos gusta de este hotel es el trato del personal que trabaja ahí. Llevamos varios años yendo ahí y desde siempre nos han tratado de manera excepcional.
We have been customers for several years and the only negative I can mention is that the food used to be of better quality. It is by no means bad, but compared with previous years I do feel it has declined slightly.
Llevamos varios años siendo clientes y lo único que puedo decir "malo" es que hace un tiempo la comida era de mejor calidad. No es mala comida en absoluto, pero en comparación con otros años si que siento que ha bajado un poco.

6.9 Marc Travelled with family July 2026 FOOD. Something was missing every day. The griddle staff were very slow and unfriendly. There were almost never any ice creams for the children. Some tables were reserved exclusively for "refugees".

8 Erika Travelled with family July 2026 It wasn’t advertised, but the hotel does offer children’s entertainment in the afternoons. We didn’t know at first, but the young woman running it was very nice and did a great job. The location is excellent: there’s a passage at the hotel that crosses the railway tracks to the beach, so access is very easy, and there’s an interesting recreational area right next door.
No lo ponía en la oferta, pero en el hotel sí que hay animación infantil por las tardes, al principio no lo sabíamos, pero la chica es muy maja y estuvo muy bien. La ubicación está muy bien, justo en el hotel hay un pasadizo que cruza las vías hacia la playa, el acceso es muy fácil, y al lado hay una zona recreativa muy interesante.
Meal times are early, especially dinner, which finishes at 21:30. There are few sunbeds by the pool and the balconies are very small.
Los horarios de comedor son temprano, sobre todo la cena, que termina a las 21:30h. En la piscina hay poco sitio de hamacas y los balcones son muy pequeños.

7.1 Rosa Travelled with  friends July 2026 Good value for money. Close to the beach and the seafront promenade, with plenty of shops and places to eat.
La verdad que bien calidad precio.cerca de la playa y paseo maritimo con bastantes tiendas y restauración.
They should provide fridges in the rooms — in the middle of summer it’s necessary, even if just to keep a few bottles of water. The entertainment is very limited and, since it takes place in the lounge and there is no air conditioning, it’s not pleasant to stay; however, the young entertainer is lovely and keeps the children amused at the pool and runs water gym for adults (they should do it every day to attract guests). It’s also worth noting the high-quality work of the chefs and the attentive service of certain waiters.
Deberian poner neveras en habitación en pleno verano es algo necesario aunque sea para meter unas botellas de agua. En cuanto a la animación muy escasa y al ser en salón y no tener aire acondicionado no apetece quedarse aunque hay que decir que la joven animadora es encantadora y entretiene a los peques en la piscina y a mayores con agua gym( tienen que hacerlo todos los días para atraer a los clientes.) Hay que indicar también el trabajo de buena calidad de los cocineros y a la atencion se cierto camareros

9.4 Paula Travelled with family July 2026 I was honestly pleasantly surprised. The pool is very peaceful and never crowded. The location is spectacular, right on the Malgrat de Mar (Barcelona Coast) promenade. There are many amenities nearby: shops, supermarkets, bars... The hotel staff were great, especially the woman who leads the aquagym sessions in the pool, and all the buffet staff. The food pleasantly surprised us too (bearing in mind it’s a buffet) — there was a wide variety, and I liked that there were hot dishes every day: soup, purees, lentils, rice... With little ones that’s a plus because you’re not offering them fries every day. One thing worth noting that you don’t always get at other hotels: water is included with the meals, which surprised us as at most places you have to pay for it. The room cleanliness was top-notch — everything was spotless. The Wi‑Fi worked perfectly, which was important as I had to work from there, and it was excellent. Overall we felt very comfortable at the hotel. Sometimes a four-star hotel is lacking in certain areas, but this one genuinely achieves all three very well.
La verdad que me sorprendió para muy muy bien. La piscina es súper tranquila, no estaba para nada masificado de gente. La ubicación es espectacular en medio del paseo de Malgrat de Mar. Hay muchos servicios cerca, muchas tiendas, supermercados, bares... El personal de todo el hotel genial, sobretodo la chica que da el espectáculo de aquagym en la piscina, y todo el personal del buffet también. La comida también nos sorprendió para bien, ( sin olvidar que es un buffet ) pero había variedad de todo, y me gustó mucho que habían platos calientes cada día, sopa, pures, lentejas, arroz...con peques es un punto a favor porque no estás todos los días dándoles patatas fritas. Algo a destacar que en otros hoteles no, el agua entra en la comida y eso también nos sorprendió ya que en la mayoría la tienes que pagar. La limpieza de la habitación de 10 estaba todo súper limpio. El wifi funcionaba perfecto y era algo que me preocupaba porque tenía que trabajar desde allí y la verdad que genial En definitiva hemos estado muy agusto en el hotel, a veces vas a un 4 estrellas que carece de alguna pero este de verdad las tiene muy bien logradas las 3.
To be fair, the communal areas do look a little dated and could do with some refurbishment, but that's purely cosmetic.
Por decir algo es verdad que las zonas comunes se ven algo antiguas y alguna remodelación le vendría bien, pero es algo solamente estético.

La cercanía a la playa El excelente trato de los trabajadores
The café is unbearably hot because there’s no air conditioning. It should be illegal to make staff work in those temperatures, especially during the hottest part of the day. It’s inhumane.

La cercanía a la playa y la ubicación
The café where the entertainment takes place has no air conditioning because it’s broken. I don’t know how the staff can work there — customers leave because it’s far too hot and someone could faint (the other day, while watching the match, it was colder in the coffee machine area than in the main room).
La cafetería que es donde hacen la animación, no hay aire acondicionado porque está estropeado no se cómo pueden trabajar porque los clientes nos vamos por el exceso de calor , nos puede dar una nipotimia ( el otro día viendo el partido hacia más frío en la cafetera que en la sala ).
