Malgrat de Mar

This Mediterranean town extends along 4.5 kilometers of white sand beaches bordered by the Tordera River delta and mountainous landscapes.

The settlement gained parish independence from Sant Genis de Palafolls in 1559, marking a significant step in its development as a maritime trading center.

The Fiesta Mayor in August fills the streets with traditional Catalan dances, music performances, and regional food celebrations lasting several days.

The weekly market every Thursday at the town center provides fresh local produce, regional specialties, clothing, and household items from morning until afternoon.

La Pilona, a century-old rocky platform that extends into the sea, remains as evidence of the town's industrial past for loading iron cargo ships.
