Why this destination is a must-visit
Curiosities of Santa Susanna: Pirates, Towers and a Green Oasis
Santa Susanna, on the Maresme coast (Barcelona), is far more than a classic sun-and-beach destination. Here, pirate legends meet modern holiday comfort in a setting that surprises at every turn.
-
An “invisible” wall against pirates
Santa Susanna boasts one of the highest concentrations of watchtowers along the Catalan coast — 7 of the original towers are still preserved. During the 15th and 16th centuries, Barbary pirate attacks were so frequent that locals built these towers to signal with bonfires and seek refuge. Today, some are integrated into private farmhouses, while others can be visited. -
The “Oasis of the Maresme”
Unlike other coastal towns dominated by concrete, Santa Susanna stands out for its smart urban planning. The hotel area sits by the sea, while the historic village rises toward the hills. Between them? Expansive green areas, fields and parks that create a true “natural resort” atmosphere. -
A destination with a Family Quality seal
Santa Susanna was the first municipality in Catalonia to receive the Family Tourism Destination certification. Everything is designed with families in mind — from the famous “Cuc” tourist train winding through town to playgrounds set right on the beach sand. -
Where the Tordera River meets the sea
Near Santa Susanna lies the mouth of the Tordera River, marking the edge of the Maresme region. This protected natural area reveals a completely different landscape, rich in vegetation and birdlife, offering a refreshing contrast to the urban coastline. -
A paradise for cyclists and sports lovers
Cyclists from across Europe flock here. Santa Susanna offers a high-level Bike Station and routes that connect sea level to the Montnegre-Corredor Natural Park within just a few kilometers. Start your morning by the Mediterranean waves and, within an hour, ride through oak forests 500 meters above sea level. -
Did you know?
Many historic Catalan farmhouses in Santa Susanna still preserve defensive loopholes and machicolations — authentic reminders of a time when living by the sea meant being prepared for pirate attacks.
Carboneras, on the coast of Almeria, is one of those destinations that surprise for its authenticity. Less crowded than other areas of the Mediterranean, it combines spectacular beaches, wild nature and that quiet atmosphere that invites you to unwind. It is ideal both for couples looking for relaxation and for families who want to enjoy the sea without crowds.
What to visit?
Among its must-see highlights the Castle of San Andrés, a fortress by the sea that is part of the landscape of the town and offers a very picturesque stamp. You can not miss the promenade, perfect for a stroll at sunset overlooking the Mediterranean. Nearby is the impressive Natural Park of Cabo de Gata-Níjar, with pristine coves and unique volcanic landscapes. And, of course, the iconic Playa de los Muertos, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain for its crystal clear waters.
What to do?
In Carboneras you can enjoy days at the beach in almost wild coves, snorkeling in clear waters full of marine life or hiking routes through the Cabo de Gata with spectacular views. It is also highly recommended to take a kayak ride along the coast to discover inaccessible corners by land or just relax on a terrace facing the sea enjoying the local atmosphere.
What to eat?
The gastronomy here tastes of the sea. Be sure to try the fried fish, rice dishes with seafood or the traditional stew. Other outstanding products include dried octopus or fresh shrimp from the area, always accompanied by a good cold drink by the sea.
Our recommendation
For a good meal without complications, we recommend Restaurante La Frontera, a traditional option with excellent value for money where you can enjoy authentic local dishes. If you are looking for a more special experience, go for Restaurante Ajo y Guindilla, renowned for its creative cuisine with local produce and recommended in gastronomic guides.
Nearby excursions
A few minutes away you can explore Mojacar, one of the most beautiful white villages of Andalusia, with streets full of charm and incredible views. Another essential option is Agua Amarga, a small coastal town with lots of charm and relaxed atmosphere, perfect to spend the day between beaches and good food.
