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.
