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.

9.7 Ezequiel Travelled with family August 2026 A quiet hotel with friendly, attentive staff. Totally recommended for families. The buffet matches the price of the booking — not luxurious but good for eating well.
Un hotel tranquilo, con personal amable y atento. Totalmente recomendable para familias. El buffet acorde con el precio de la reserva, sin lujos pero para comer bien.
Overall I can't mention anything negative of note, apart from some minor personal preferences that don't affect anything.
En general no puedo mencionar nada negativo que se destacable, salvo alguna apreciación personal no influyente.

la localización esta muy bien.
The atmosphere in the main areas and corridors of the hotel is a bit particular. It also lacks a lot of entertainment, especially compared with the hotels nearby.
ambiente en las zonas comunes y pasillos del hotel un poco ( especial ) y le falta mucha animación, sobre todo si lo comparas con los hoteles de alrededor.

9.7 Antonio Travelled with family August 2026 Fantastic hotel in every respect. 1. Good rooms with magnificent views. 2. The rooms were cleaned every day during our stay. 3. The hotel staff were always friendly. 4. The food was excellent — good quality, plentiful, and not very repetitive. P.S. Special mention to the entertainment girl, AIARA, who was super friendly and managed her activities very well.
Fantastico hotel en todos los aspectos. 1. Buenas habitaciones con magnificas vistas. 2. Limpieza de las habitaciones cada uno de los dias que estuvimos 3. Personal del hotel con buen trato en todo momento 4. La comida fue excelente, calidad , cantidad y no muy repetitiva. PD. Especial comentario sobre la chica de animaciones, AIARA, supersimpatica y buena manejo de sus actividades.
The beach in front of the hotel, although it was conveniently close, wasn’t great for us. It gets deep as soon as you go in and the sand is medium to coarse, which makes it harder to have fun when you’re with an 8-year-old child.
La playa enfrente del hotel aunque tiene buena cercania, para nosotros no estuvo muy bien, cubre nada mas entrar y arena de grano medio/grueso, lo que dificulta el entretenimiento cuando vas con un niño de 8 años.

10 María Del Pilar Travelled with family August 2026 The hotel is very well located near the beach, and the hotel staff are highly qualified. I have to mention the food, which was very good, as well as the cleanliness and maintenance. The entertainment staff, reception, and waiters from both the bar and the buffet were all very attentive. Everyone was really helpful.
El hotel está muy bien situado de la playa, el personal del hotel muy cualificado, destacar la comida, muy buena, la limpieza,mantenimiento, la atención de la animadora, recepción, camareros tanto del bar como del buffet y la recepción. Todos muy atentos.
The problem I noticed is that the nightclub is extremely loud. There’s not much they can do about it.
El inconveniente que yo he visto es la discoteca que retumba muchísimo. Ellos poco pueden hacer.

10 Adela Travelled with family August 2026 Everything was great. We were unlucky with the people in the nearby rooms, so we couldn't get any rest. Apart from that, everything was fantastic!
Todo fue genial. Tuvimos mala suerte con las personas de las habitaciones cercanas por no poder descansar. Por lo demás súper!!!
Yes, in our case it was the noise from the nightclub and from the nearby rooms. Wild young people.
Si , en nuestro caso el ruido de la discoteca i el de las habitaciones cercanas . Juventud alocada .

9.4 Pilar August 2026 Malgrat de Mar (Barcelona Coast) is a good place to spend a nice holiday. What I liked most is that it’s all a free car park area.
Malgrat de Mar es un buen sitio para pasar unas buenas vacaciones lo que más me ha gustado es que es todo zona blanca
It’s a hotel that’s really well located with sea views, and I ended up with a room with mountain views. I would have liked to have a room with sea views.

7.4 Lorena Travelled with  friends August 2026 A good place, the pools were very nice and the staff were very attentive.
Buen lugar las piscinas estaban muy bien y el personal muy atento
The food is something that could be improved, as there wasn't much variety. In my case, I'm allergic to green beans and almost all of the stewed dishes contained green beans, so I couldn't eat them.
Las comidas son un punto a mejorar ya que había poca variedad. En en mi caso soy alergia a las judías verdes y casi todo lo que era comida guisada contenían judías verdes y no las podía consumir.

9.4 Isabel Travelled with couple August 2026 The staff are very friendly. The rooms are small but clean, and the bathroom is spacious. Everything has been renovated. The location is unbeatable, right in front of the underground walkway that leads to the beach. There's quite a large car park for €10 a day.
El personal es muy agradable. Las habitaciones son pequeñas pero limpias el baño espacioso. Todo reformado. La situación es inmejorable delante mismo de la pasarela subterranea que va a la playa. Tiene un parking bastante grande por 10€|dia.
They should improve the air conditioning in the café lounge. On hot days you can’t tell that it’s there at all. There’s a lot of noise from the street at night, but you can avoid it by closing the balcony door, which has good soundproofing.
Tendria que mejorar el aire acondicionado del salón cafeteria. Los días calurosos no se nota para nada que exista. Hay mucho ruido por las noches en la calle pero se evita cerrando el balcón que tiene una buena insonirización.

9.1 Raquel Travelled with family August 2026 We had a really pleasant stay! We enjoyed the pool and the activities organised by the entertainer Ari, who was lovely. You could tell she enjoyed what she was doing. Overall, all the staff in the dining room, reception, and bar were very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.
Hemos estado muy agusto! Hemos disfrutado de la piscina y de las actividades que hacia la animadora Ari, un amor de chica. Se notaba que le gustaba lo que hacia. En general todo el personal el del comedor, recepción y bar muy amable y atento para que no faltara de nada.
They could extend the meal and dinner times a bit more, as we found them a bit tight, and also keep the pool open a little longer because just when we were really enjoying ourselves, it closed.
Los horarios de comida y cena podrian alargarla un poco mas ya que se nos hacia un poco justa y alargar tambien un poco el horario de la piscina porque cuando estabamos de lo mas agusto cerraban

7.7 Jou Travelled with couple August 2026 The location is excellent, just a step away from the beach. The rooms are also very nice, and on our first day we were given a complimentary bottle of cava and a plate of fruit. The staff were also quite friendly. Our TV broke down, but the day after we reported it, it was fixed. There is car park available near the hotel, and we never had to pay for it. Even so, the hotel does have private car park at €10 a night.
La ubicación es excelente, a un paso de la playa. Las habitaciones también están muy bien, además el primer día nos dieron una botella de cava y un plato de fruta de regalo. El personal también fue bastante amable. Se nos estropeó la TV y al día siguiente de dar aviso ya estaba bien. Hay sitio para aparcar cerca del hotel, no tuvimos que pagar ningún día. A pesar de eso, el hotel cuenta con parking privado a 10€ la noche.
The hotel has 9 floors and only two lifts (each with capacity for 4 people). It wouldn't hurt to have another one or two. The pool is a bit small, and so is the number of sunbeds. We wanted to spend a day there but there was no space. The dinner menu could have been a bit more varied, although it wasn't bad.
El hotel tiene 9 plantas y solamente dos ascensores (capacidad para 4 cada uno). No estaría mal tener alguno más. El tamaño de la piscina es algo pequeño, incluso el número de hamacas. Nosotros quisimos estar un día y no había sitio. El menú de las cenas podría haber sido algo más variado, aunque no estaba mal.

You need to check the air conditioning — it was barely noticeable — and urgently install fridges in the rooms so guests can have cold water and, in some cases, store important medication.
Es necesario que revisen el aire acondicionado, a penas se notaba y lo que urge también es que pongan nevera en las habitaciones para poder tener agua fria y en algunos casos medicamentos importantes.

El personal siempre amable, ya voy varios años, la relación calidad precio bien
This year we wanted to sit at a table for six in the dining room, and to our surprise we were told no, that those tables were reserved for the refugees that the hotel had staying there. It's strange how paying guests aren't allowed to reserve a table, but those who aren't paying have one reserved. And one day they didn't clean the room at all, even though I very politely told the cleaning lady that we were leaving the room, and she ignored me. This year, unlike previous years, we were a bit disappointed.
Este año quisimos sentarnos en una mesa de 6 en el comedor, sorprendidos nos dijeron que no que son mesas reservadas para los refugiados que tenía en hotel allí instalados, es raro como uno que paga no se le permita reservar y los que no pagan tenga su mesa reservada, y un día pasaron de hacer la habitación pese a que le pedí muy amablemente a la camarera que dejaba la habitación y ni caso, este año a diferencia de los demás un poco de decepción.
