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.

5 Aurora Mariela Travelled with family May 2026
La ubicación y el hotel en general tiene echa una reforma simple ,camas cómodas ,habitación muy pequeña. Viajábamos con una adolescente y nos dieron un habitación para tres personas de tres camas individuales pero todas juntas ,así que la persona del medio no tenía por donde salir .
El bufet muy mala calidad y servicio . Los chicos que recogen platos y arman mesas a pesas de ser muy jovencitos lo hacen muy bien ,el Mestre daba órdenes con muy malas formas y crea un ambiente incómodo y la comida escasa y se mala calidad . En el desayuno tuve que avisar que los huevos revueltos estaban con olor a podrido ,los retiraron inmediatamente pero ya había mucha gente que se había servido .

8.6 Montse Travelled with couple October 2025 The location is perfect, just a few metres from the sea and with nearby car park on the street behind the hotel. The staff is excellent and the rooms are adequate with a fantastic sea view on the upper floors. Overall, the price-quality ratio is very positive.
La ubicación és perfecta, a pocos metros del mar y con aparcamiento cercano en la calle detrás del hotel El trato del personal excelente y las habitaciones correctas con una fantástica vista del mar en las plantas altas. En general, la relación precio-calidad es muy positiva.
The food is varied, although the quality could be improved a little. The main areas are small. The rooms on the lower floors have noise issues due to the disco located below the hotel.
La comida es variada, aunque se podria mejorar un poquito la calidad. Los espacios comunes son reducidos Las habitaciones de las plantas inferiores tienen moestias debido a la discoteca situada debajo del hotel

6.9 Pablo Travelled with family October 2025 I liked the food, variety and quality. The included water is a nice touch and fresh fruit.
La comida me ha gustado, variedad y calidad. El agua incluida es un detalle y fruta fresca.
I got a room above the nightclub (although on the top floor) and it was horrible, impossible to sleep because of the noise outside until 6 am. Poor balcony insulation.
Me tocó una habitación encima de la discoteca (aunque en la planta más alta) y horrible, imposible dormir por el ruido exterior hasta las 6h. Mal aislamiento balconera.
