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.

Costa del Maresme: peaceful beaches close to Barcelona
TheCosta 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.

Es un hotel que necesita alguna reparacion. Pero en las cosas importantes como la comida y las camas muy bien. El personal muy amable
The entertainment could run a little later in the evenings — it currently finishes at 23:30. And please address those small maintenance issues.
La animación podría durar un poquito más por la noche solo es hasta las 23:30. Y solucionar esas pequeñas cosas de mantenimiento.

Anteriormente he estado alojada en este hotel y ha perdido muchísimo la calidad tanto del bufet como del personal
Not worth it for a 4-star hotel. Reception staff are not very friendly or helpful and the buffet is very limited.
Para ser un 4 estrellas no vale la pena .el personal de recepción no es muy amable ni resolutivo buffet muy escaso.

A bit chaotic. Well done for trusting the young local team, but the organisation could be improved.
Un poco de descontrol. Bravo por confiar con gente joven de la zona, pero falta un poco de Organizacion.

Il y a des traces dégoûtantes sur le drap ainsi que beaucoup de poussière sous le lit. La chambre n’a manifestement pas été correctement nettoyée. Climatisation non fonctionnelle ou arrêtée dans le restaurant. Elle marche bien pourtant dans le bar.

El hotel super bien, todo genial, todos muy amables
Check-in is very late and check-out very early, and with only one night you don’t get much time to enjoy the room.
The beach in that area is pebbly; it’s best to wear closed shoes right to the water’s edge.
El check in es muy tarde y el checkout muy pronto y con una noche, disfrutas poco de la habitación.
La playa de esa zona es con piedrecitas, mejor ir con zapatos cerrados hasta la orilla.

La ubicación sin duda y algún trabajador.
Almost everything needs improvement, especially for a superior 4-star hotel. To me it deserves 2 stars fewer.
Casi todo se tiene que mejorar, más tratándose de un 4 estrellas superior. Para mí le sobran 2 estrellas.

Lo que más me ha gustado del hotel es que es nuevo y se nota en sus instalaciones bastante modernas y cuidadas. También destaco al personal del restaurante, muy simpático. La animación nos gustó mucho, sobre todo las actuaciones nocturnas y los bailes. Solo faltó un escenario y más iluminación, ya que apenas se veía al animador. Por lo demás, quedamos satisfechos.Y destacar que estábamos justo en el paseo donde estaban todas las tiendas y al lado del hotel había una feria.
I didn’t enjoy the food very much; I felt there was a lack of variety and, above all, we missed having more chicken options. Also, although we had Full Board, drinks were not included and had to be paid for separately, including wine and other drinks. The beach is right in front of the hotel, but you have to cross the railway line and, with a baby buggy, access is quite difficult. As for the hotel car park, it’s located at the back on a dirt lot that you reach by going around the hotel. The car is completely exposed to the sun and the charge is €10 per day. I understand that at this price there was no pool, but with the heat in August one is really needed; it was also hot in the dining room and bar. Fortunately the rooms had air conditioning and we slept at a great temperature.
No me ha gustado demasiado la comida, ya que considero que faltaba variedad y, sobre todo, echamos en falta más opciones de pollo. Además, aunque teníamos pensión completa, las bebidas no estaban incluidas y había que pagarlas aparte, tanto el vino como otras bebidas. La playa está justo enfrente del hotel, pero hay que cruzar la vía del tren y, con un carrito de bebé, el acceso resulta bastante complicado. En cuanto al parking del hotel, está situado detrás, en un descampado de tierra, al que hay que acceder rodeando el hotel. El coche queda totalmente expuesto al sol y, además, el precio es de 10 € por día. Entiendo que por el precio no había piscina pero con el calor que hacía en agosto la verdad es que se necesita, también hacía calor en el comedor y el bar, por suerte en las habitaciones había aire acondicionado y dormimos genial de temperatura.

Las camas eran grandes y cómodas aunque las almohadas muy finas y pequeñas.
The room cleaning was not satisfactory: on the first day there were two clumps of hair caught in the towels, there was hair on the bed and the floor was not very clean either.
La limpieza en la habitación no ha sido de las mejores, el primer día en las toallas había dos mechones de pelos enganchado, en la cama también con pelos el suelo tampoco estaba muy limpio.

Este hotel disponía de buenas piscinas con toboganes un gran servicio de bar de piscina, perfecto para ir con la familia.
Ahora no conozco la razón pero han eliminado las piscinas, ya no vale la pena ir a este hotel (una pena para mí era de lo mejor de la zona)
No lo recomiendo

Del hotel solo me quedo con la ubicación, el resto PENOSO Y VERGONZOSO, yo pensaba que las reseñas estaban exageradas, pues tengo que decir que se quedan CORTOS.
For example, the bedroom door WOULDN'T CLOSE, no solution, they said there was nothing they could do, the entertainment was forgettable,
on the last day the dining-room ceiling collapsed, no manager bothered to check on the guests, and so on.
SHAMEFUL
Para dar ejemplos, la puerta de la habitación NO CERRABA, solución ninguna, que no podían hacer nada, la animación sin pena ni gloria, el
Último día se cayó el techo del comedor, no se dignó ningún responsable a ir a preguntar cómo estaba la gente, y así todo.
VERGONZOSO

El hotel para 4 estrellas muy justo. Teníamos reservada una habitación triple y era un poco justa. Dos camas grandes pegadas. Hubiéramos preferido diferente distribución.
There wasn’t much variety in the meals, though the quality was acceptable. We couldn’t choose the All-Inclusive option and the drinks were not cheap. Not having a pool was another drawback, although we knew that beforehand.
No había mucha variedad en las comidas, la calidad no estaba mal. No pudimos elegir la opción de todo incluido y el precio de las bebidas no era económico. El no tener piscina es otro inconveniente, aunque previamente ya lo sabíamos.

The room they put the four of us in was originally for two; they added another bed. The drink service is a self-service refill. The room is thoroughly cleaned only every four days.
