Welcome to the Costa de Barcelona- Maresme, a region to visit all year round with an exceptional climate, which combines the richness of so internationality renowned tourist area with beautiful Mediterranean beaches, bustling recreational ports, and the culture, gastronomy and traditions of its popular celebrations with the intense green of its three natural parks.

Close to Barcelona, El Maresme (30 municipalities, 16 on the coast and 14 slightly inland) has become an excellent cultural and leisure alternative. Natural areas with marked trails, full service beaches for summer enjoyment, cities with architectural and cultural tours and a wide range of museums to visit, and leisure companies with original proposals. A whole range of products based on quality.

Maresme has a tourist tradition of more than 50 years, with a varied proposal of activities, which increasingly complements the sun and beach tourism with which it became known.

It is important to highlight the set of activities that can be done as a family throughout the region.

Enjoy Maresme with children is very easy. We propose activities for the whole family such as visiting the Can Gel cow farm or taking a ride aboard a little tourist train is also a good way to visit some of the municipalities of Maresme.
