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.

Lo mejor sin duda la ubicación, muy cerca de mar.
El personal (hay muy poco en el comedor) también es agradable.
The food is of very poor quality and lacks variety. The breakfast is just about "acceptable", although I've seen water with more colour than those juices.
Even though the hotel has had a bit of a facelift, it needs another one. There are things that are broken, and the walls are stained...
La comida es de muy mala calidad y variedad. Se puede "salvar" el desayuno, aunque he visto agua con más color que esos zumos.
El hotel pese a ver tenido un lavado de cara necesita otro, hay cosas rotas, paredes manchadas .....

Personal atento y agradable.
Comidas tanto de desayuno,comida y cena variada.
Todos los días espectáculo de entretenimiento.
Habitaciones amplias y cama cómoda.
No hay piscina pero tienes la playa a cien metros pasando por un subterráneo para salvar la vía del tren.
We were originally going to stay for four days and ended up extending our stay by another two days.
In six days, they should have changed the sheets at least once.
Íbamos a estar cuatro días en principio y ampliamos dos mas la estancia.
En seis días deberían de haber cambiado al menos una vez las sábanas.

On Saturday, the buffet ran out of food and they didn’t replenish it. You could tell it was the weekend because it was really crowded. But the food was in short supply compared to the other days!
El sábado el buffet se quedó sin comida y no la repusieron. Se notaba que era fin de semana porque había mucha gente. Pero la comida era escasa en diferencia a los otros días!

Me encantó Malgrat del mar , tranquilidad para pasear ,cerca a la playa y la comida del hotel bueno ,personal correcto.
The swimming pool is what is most needed, and for the entertainment they should offer other alternatives to enjoy it better.
La piscina es la que más hace falta y la animación deberían poner otras alternativas para disfrutar mejor .

Lo mejor del hotel ubicación frente a la playa. También que te dan agua gratis en las comidas.
At the very least, it should have had a pool, even if it was a small one.
Que por lo menos tuviera una piscina aunque fuera pequeña.

Su localización en pleno paseo
I didn’t like at all the shared terrace with other rooms, and on top of that, the room I stayed in was small. It’s not what you’d expect from a 4-star hotel.
No me a gustado nada la terraza compartida con otras habitaciones a parte la habitación que estuve pequeña, no equivale a las 4 estrellas

El spa (lo contratas por 1 hora a 10 euros por persona) y la ubicación en el paseo marítimo.
At night there was no dancing, it was quite boring; you could see other hotels with DJs and lots of dancing. I really missed having some dancing. In this respect, this hotel was very disappointing. And the fact that they don't have an outdoor pool is also a big letdown.
Por la noche no había baile, era bastante aburrido, veías otros hoteles con discjoqueis y mucho baile. He echado mucho de menos el baile. En este aspecto este hotel muy mal. Y que no tengan piscina exterior muy mal tambien.

It’s really disappointing that there isn’t a swimming pool, and that they haven’t made an agreement with a nearby hotel either. Going with children and not having a pool is difficult. Busco un deal, please make this information much more visible, not hidden in the small print… Unfortunately, I only found out on the day I was leaving because I happened to look at the hotel’s website; otherwise, I would have cancelled and gone to another hotel.
Tristísimo que no tenga piscina y en tal caso que no haya hecho un acuerdo con algún hotel cercano. Ir con niños sin piscina es complicado. A busco un chollo poner esta información más grande, no en la letra pequeña… lamentablemente me enteré el día que me iba porque se me ocurrió mirar el sitio web del hotel, sino cancelaba y me iba a otro hotel.

Cerca de la playa y zona para tomar algo.
La comida buena pero escasa.
Limpieza, buena y utensilios para ducha y baño.
Personal amable y atento.
The room was small for two people. BE CAREFUL if you end up next to the fair, as you could have noise until one in the morning.
Meal times are quite short.
Sometimes there isn’t enough food.
The dining area is cramped and long queues form.
Breakfast didn’t have much fruit or cereal.
La habitación pequeña para 2 personas. CUIDADO si te toca al lado de la feria,puedes tener ruido hasta la una de la madrugada.
Horario de comidas, bastante corto.
Comida a veces escasea.
Zona de comida estrechas y se forman largas colas.
Desayuno sin mucha fruta,ni cereales.

La ubicació és genial davant de la platja, el menjar em va sorprendre molt gratament i la amabilitat de tots els treballadors, el lavabo de la habitació súper bé, els llits i coixins molt confortables.
They need to improve the cleaning of the rooms; the beds were made terribly and not once did they restock the shower gel or shampoo!
I found our room small and the view was awful.
A millorar la neteja de les habitacions, els llits els feien fatal i cap dia van tornar a posar ni gel ni xampú!
La nostra habitació la vaig trobar petita i les vistes eren un horror.
