Maresme

The Maresme region extends along 50 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline between Barcelona and the Costa Brava, featuring sandy beaches and mountain ranges.

The Barcelona-Mataró railroad line, constructed in 1848, marked the first railway connection in the Iberian Peninsula and transformed the accessibility of this coastal region.

The thirty municipalities of Maresme maintain strong maritime traditions through local festivals, fishing activities, and ports that shape the identity of coastal communities.

Regular train services connect Maresme's coastal towns with Barcelona, offering convenient transportation options for residents and travelers throughout the comarca.

The region contains 49 beaches and five major ports, while the inland area includes 20,000 hectares of protected natural parks in the Serralada Litoral mountain range.
