Malgrat de Mar holidays 2021
Look beneath the terracotta-topped houses of Malgrat de Mar’s old town, interrupted only by the octagonal church tower, to see a warren of streets, boutiques and bars that lead to its award-winning beach.
Offering the best of all worlds on holiday in Costa Brava, low-key Malgrat de Mar has an ample coastline, situated within easy reach of buzzing Barcelona and historic Girona. It’s also well-placed for families and couples looking to explore neighbouring resorts and the wider region of Catalonia in northeast Spain.
Historic highlights of Malgrat de Mar
There’s far more to holidays to Malgrat de Mar than simply it’s beautiful beach. In particular, history lovers will want to make a trip to the rustic, untended Romans ruins of Can Cua Aqueduct in next door Pineda. Then, head to the immaculately sculpted clifftop Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes, curated by the remarkable German natural scientist, Carl Faust, from 1924 onwards.
