CALDES D’ESTRAC

Caldes d’Estrac or Caldetas is a coastal town protected by the Cordillera Litoral, which runs parallel to the coast, and enjoys an enviable climate, with advanced springs and winters and mild summers.
Caldes d’Estrac has several tourist attractions that make it an area visited by people of all during all seasons.

The famous ” Promenade of the Englishmen” “El Passeig dels Anglesos” became famous for its thermal baths and the English tourists left  the cold  weathe r of London to spend holidays in this small Catalan Mediterranean village. These wealthy families built beautiful houses, many Modernists or Noucentists, but with an English air, right in front of the sea. Currently many of these houses have been replaced by luxury apartments, but many have been preserved and are really lovely. Why do not we go to the beach and then a promenade contemplating these architectural wonders?

Its golden sand and calm waters becomes an optimal beach for families with children.

MONTGAT

The three beaches of Montgat, Pla de Montgat, Sant Joan and Les Moreres have two kilometers of sand. They are divided by a rocky promontory called Caleta de Montgat. In them, the sea looks intense blue on sunny days. It has a narrow promenade that crosses garden areas, the Torre de Ca n’Alzina (16th century) and picturesque vintage beach bars.

Just 17 kilometers north of Barcelona Montgat is the first municipality of the Maresme coming from the south. We can access its beaches by train since it has two stations- Mongat and Mongat nord. Thanks to its proximity to Barcelona we can enjoy, apart from its clear waters, the views of the Fòrum park and the W.

MATARÓ

In the capital of Maresme, Mataró, between the Sant Simó stream and Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, we find a beach known as “la playa del búnker” or “el fortí”, since there is a Civil War buffer in one of its extremes. The bunker is a curiosity to take into account apart from the rocky bottom that allows us to discover a large number of fish. These bunkers (we found several along the Maresme coast) were built during the Civil War and used as a point of surveillance and defense against possible enemy bombardments, such as the one that was unleashed on Mataró itself on June 8 and July 22, 1937 .

BETWEEN CANET AND SANT POL …

Playa de les Roques Blanques, a semi-secret beach !!!

Between Canet and Sant Pol, we find a secluded sandy beach with no promenade. With a rustic appearance of just 300 meters, in a privileged and exclusive environment, redecorated with rocks and transparent waters, it allows you to enjoy tranquility any day of the year!

A small piece of beautiful and magical beach that will make us fall in love!

How to get??? on foot from the beach of Canet or by an underground walk that is on the N-II

SANT POL

Sant Pol de Mar, small village with a lot of typical Mediterranean charm, with narrow streets, white houses … there we find the Morer beach among others, with coarse sand. Its beaches, the mayria small and rocky coves, are distinguished from the rest of the Maresme beaches.

Between the Mediterranean sea and cliffs … like on the Costa Brava

Nearby, there is an old Roman wine center from the 1st century, which can be visited after a short walk.

CALELLA

On Mataró north … capital of the Maresme, we find this beach located to the south of the urban center of Calella, on the coastal front of the Parc Natural del Montnegre i el Corredor.

With this name is known all the coves Rocapins, La Vinyeta, Cala d’en Pere (nudist) and Roca Grossa, located south of the lighthouse of Calella.

Surrounded by pine trees and cliffs, unique note in front of the long beaches of the Maresme.

TORDERA

To the north of the Maresme region is the Punta de la Tordera beach.

Tordera is a town marked by its river, which is born at the height of the Montseny. This river is of great ecological value and is one of the natural areas with the greatest biodiversity in the region. There, is where we find the last beach to comment.
