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.
Good
8 Juan Travelled with couple July 2026 Proximity to the beach and the location
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 ).

6 Filipe Gonçalves Travelled with family June 2026
As comidas não eram todas boas. Tendo crianças as comidas eram muito salgadas e quando pedíamos para ser menos salgado faziam cara torta. Os quartos eram muito quentes ae condicionado era só um para um quarto grande porque o outro não dava . Os corredores e elevador eram muito quentes. Já na recepção era fresco e gelo. No local de diversão era muito quente sem um ar e nem tinha muitas atividades para crianças. Na piscina não estava ligado as bolhas nem o jurar da água nem muitos guarda soles tinha. Tem muito a melhorar.

9.4 Jaiver Travelled with couple June 2026 I love the location, especially since it’s almost facing the sea, the rooms are very nice with very comfortable beds, a balcony with spectacular sea views, the buffet food is the only area I would improve a little more in terms of variety, but everything is very good, I would definitely return to this hotel.
Me encanta la ubicación si queda casi frente al mar, las habitaciones muy bonitas con camas muy cómodas, balcón con vista al mar espectacular, la comida del bufete pues es lo que mejoraría un poco más en cuanto a variedad pero todo muy bueno, volvería a este hotel sin duda alguna

5 Aurora Mariela Travelled with family May 2026 The location and the hotel in general has a simple renovation, comfortable beds, very small room. We were travelling with a teenager and they gave us a room for three people with three single beds but all together, so the person in the middle had nowhere to go.
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 .
The buffet very poor quality and service. The guys who collect dishes and set up tables despite being very young do very well, the Mestre gave orders with very bad manners and creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and the food is scarce and poor quality. At breakfast I had to warn that the scrambled eggs had a rotten smell, they were removed immediately but there were already many people who had been served.
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 .

10 María Yorladis Travelled with couple April 2026 Good tourist area, beach, sea, mountains, train, entertainment. They gave us a very good room with views to the pool and the sea. The Manager Francisco is a great leader; he anticipates your needs with a close, discreet, and highly professional manner, as does the rest of the team. Everything flows; the atmosphere and rhythm of the service are perfect. FRANCISCO, you are a great professional; thank you for making us feel at home, and thanks to the entire reception, housekeeping, and bar teams.
