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.
The Costa del Maresme, located just north of Barcelona, is an ideal destination if you want to combine relaxed beach days with easy access to one of Europe’s most exciting cities. Known for its long sandy beaches, family-friendly atmosphere and charming seaside towns, this stretch of coast offers a perfect balance between calm coastal living and cultural city breaks.
Make sure you visit:
- Calella, one of the liveliest resorts in the area, with a long promenade and great atmosphere.
- Santa Su****sanna, popular for its wide beaches and modern seafront.
- Mataró, the capital of the region, combining shopping areas with a historic old town.
- Arenys de Mar, a traditional fishing town with plenty of local character.
Beaches we think you’ll like:
- Calella Beach: long, well-equipped and perfect for families.
- Santa Susanna Beach: spacious and clean, ideal for relaxing walks.
- Ocata Beach: close to Barcelona, known for its fine sand and clear waters.
- Arenys de Mar Beach: smaller and more traditional, with a local feel.
Family-friendly activities:
- Enjoy relaxed beach days with calm waters and easy access.
- Walk or cycle along the coastal promenade connecting several towns.
- Explore nature trails in the nearby Parque Natural del Montnegre i el Corredor.
- Take a short train ride to Barcelona for museums, parks and iconic landmarks.
Make sure you try these local delicacies:
- Fresh seafood and grilled fish straight from the Mediterranean.
- Traditional rice dishes, especially seafood paellas.
- Local strawberries, one of the region’s best-known products.
- Wines from the nearby Alella wine region, perfect with any meal.
Make the most of your visit and go to...
- Barcelona (30–40 minutes): culture, architecture and endless things to see and do.
- Girona (1 hour): a beautiful old town with medieval streets and city walls.
- Parque Natural del Montseny (1 hour): perfect for nature lovers and scenic walks.

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 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.

En el hotel admiten animales, cosa que no me molesta … Lo que me molesta es que esos perros tengan dueños que pasan de todo, desde el jueves que entre hasta hoy que he salido, los animales han estado ladrando y aullando todo el tiempo que estaban solos, que ha sido la mayoría del tiempo
Hablé con recepción en numerosas ocasiones y los perros seguían ladrando, aunque ellos habían hablado con los dueños… Pido la hoja de reclamaciones, me ofrecen cambiar de habitación, YO no estoy molestando y no estaba dispuesta a cambiarme, que cambiaran a ellos o los invitaran a salir, me dijeron que hablara al día siguiente con el subdirector, yo había rellenado mi parte de la hoja de reclamaciones, pues me vuelve a decir lo mismo y yo le contesto lo mismo y que para que había hablado con el sino me daba solución, si cambiarte de habitación, cámbialos a ellos, si contestación sería entrar en un conflicto… Enla hoja de reclamaciones pusieron que habían ofrecido cambios de habitaciónes a las dos partes cosa que no es CIERTA
LO MEJOR ES NO VOLVER AL HOTEL MASSSS. APOYAN AL QUE MOLESTA Y AL QUE NO LO HUMILLAN

Personal muy amable y predispuesto.
Depending on the room, there is a nightclub downstairs and you can hear everything. We were on the fifth floor and had to ask to be moved. In the other one they gave us, you couldn't hear anything, perfect.
Según la habitación, hay una discoteca debajo y se escucha todo. Estábamos en un quinto piso y tuvimos que pedir que nos cambiaran. En la otra que nos dieron no se escuchaba nada, perfecto.

Atención del personal mas que buena, las instalaciones limpias aunque algo deterioradas por el paso del tiempo, calidad precio buena la piscina tiene un buen punto
The room has outlets and light switches right by the beds so depending on the height or how you are at night, you can turn on the light even at night. Besides the lack of a clothesline to hang towels and other things, the room will be a clothesline full of humidity. Some kind of entertainment would be nice with the room they have and the small stage, also you would contribute more variety in the food.
La habitación tiene los enchufes y los botones de la luz justo en las camas por lo que segun la altura o como estes por la noche según como puedes encender la luz incluso de noche, a parte de la falta de algun tenderete para poder colgar las toallas y demas con lo cual la habitación sera un tenderete lleno de humedad, algun tipo de animación estaria bien con la sala que tienen y el pequeño escenario, aportaris tambien algo mas de variedad en la comida

Ya hemos ido muchas otra veces a este hotel, siempre que podemos, repetimos! El personal del comedor es inmejorable! El señor Dauda y el señor Paco son muy amables, se merecen un aumento! La comida, aunque no tiene miles de platos, está buenísima, carne, pescado, potajes, pastas, pizzas ( las hacen allí mismo y están deliciosas!), hay también plancha, podéis elegir al momento. No podéis perderos la bollería del desayuno, también las hacen allí y está todo calentito, recién hecho! Está vez en la piscina había sitio, cómo siempre limpia y podéis disfrutar de un mini spa a los lados, unos chorros y un banco de burbujas! Las señoritas de recepción son también muy amables y están siempre para ayudarte y explicarte lo que necesites! Ahora han puesto una rampa para hacer el acceso al hotel mucho más cómodo, si vas con algún carrito, o las maletas mismo. En general está excelente el hotel! Sin duda volveremos a repetir siempre que podamos!
"Sometimes there is a line to access the dining room, but also because there are peak hours, the hotel is not to blame for that, everyone goes to the dining room when they can and want! Of course! Have a little patience!"
Algunas veces se forma cola para acceder al comedor, pero también porque hay horas punta, de eso no tiene culpa el hotel, cada uno va cuando puede y quiere al comedor! Faltaría más! Tened un poco de paciencia!
