The Costa del Maresme is the coast of the Maresme comarca in Barcelona province, a narrow strip of land between the Mediterranean and the Serralada Litoral, Montnegre and Corredor hills (Catalunya.com). The Consell Comarcal puts the comarca at 398.5 km² and 30 municipalities, about 30 km north-east of Barcelona, with Mataró as the administrative capital (Consell Comarcal del Maresme, Consell Comarcal del Maresme). This map and guide runs from Malgrat de Mar and Calella through Sant Pol, Canet and Arenys to Mataró and El Masnou, with the R1 train, weather and campsites.

The Lluís Domènech i Montaner House-Museum is dedicated to the architect (1849–1923); adults pay 5 €, entry is free on the first Sunday of the month and it is closed on Mondays (Casa Museu Domènech i Montaner). The Castle of Santa Florentina was the home of Ramon de Montaner i Vila, who commissioned his nephew Domènech i Montaner to restore and enlarge it (Ajuntament de Canet de Mar).
In Mataró, Antoni Gaudí built his first work in 1883, the Nau Gaudí, for the workers’ cooperative La Obrera Mataronense; it uses parabolic arches, now houses the Bassat contemporary art collection and entry is free (Cultura Mataró, Patrimoni Cultural). In Vilassar de Mar, Casa Marimon (Can Lari) was built in 1918 for a Barceloneta shipyard owner (Catalunya.com).
Roman Iluro, museums and the lighthouse
The Mataró Museum is housed in Can Serra, a manor house built in 1565, and its permanent exhibition includes Iluro, ciutat romana, on Roman Mataró (Cultura Mataró); see also Iluro.

In Argentona, the Museu del Càntir, founded in 1975, has more than 4,000 pieces from the Bronze Age to Picasso (Museu del Càntir).
Building of Calella Lighthouse began on 9 October 1856 to plans by the engineer Marià Parellada, and it was inaugurated on 15 December 1859 (Turisme Maresme).

Strawberries, peas and DO Alella
Strawberries, potatoes, flower-growing and vineyards are among the Maresme’s best-known farm products (Catalunya.com); Catalonia’s tourist board recommends the Maresme strawberries, and Calella holds a strawberry fair, the Fira de la Maduixa, in May (Catalunya.com). Sant Andreu de Llavaneres is known for the Pèsol Garrofal de Llavaneres pea and the Coca de Llavaneres (Turisme Maresme), and Arenys de Mar holds the Calamarenys squid days in October and November (Turisme Maresme). In Mataró, the traditional markets are El Rengle and Plaça de Cuba (Femturisme).
DO Alella is Catalonia’s smallest designation of origin and the closest to Barcelona; Prodeca gives it 223 hectares of vineyard on sauló, a free-draining granitic sand, and its best-known wines are whites from the native Pansa Blanca grape (Prodeca). Catalan Wines lists 200 hectares and 7 wineries (Catalan Wines). Alella offers winery tours and tastings (Femturisme).
The coastal hills, the Montseny and the Tordera delta
Behind the beaches, the Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor protects 15,000 ha between the Maresme and the Vallès Oriental (Parcs de la Diputació de Barcelona). The Parc de la Serralada Litoral covers 11,450 ha in 15 municipalities and never exceeds 600 m in altitude (Parcs de la Diputació de Barcelona), with one of the country’s most important granite landscapes (Parcs de la Diputació de Barcelona). Inland, the Parc Natural del Montseny covers 30,120 ha (Parcs de la Diputació de Barcelona); UNESCO declared the Montseny Biosphere Reserve on 28 April 1978 and enlarged it to 50,166 hectares in 2014 (Parcs de la Diputació de Barcelona).
At the northern end of the coast, a bird observatory overlooks the Tordera delta (Turisme Maresme). On the water, the Maresme has five marinas: Arenys de Mar, Port Balís, Mataró, Premià de Mar and El Masnou (Catalunya.com); Port Balís in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres has 764 moorings (Catalunya.com), and Sant Vicenç de Montalt has a nautical base (Turisme Maresme).
When to go to the Costa del Maresme
Average temperature and rainfall at Barcelona Airport (AEMET station 0076), for 1981–2010 (AEMET). We found no AEMET normals for a station on the Maresme coast itself.
The annual mean at Barcelona Airport is 16.1 °C, with 588 mm of rain on 53.3 days; July averages 305 hours of sunshine and January 151 (AEMET). Calella’s strawberry fair is in May (Catalunya.com), Sant Pol de Mar holds the Firamar maritime fair at the end of August (Turisme Maresme), and Sant Roc on 16 August in Arenys de Mar is a Heritage Festival of National Interest (Turisme Maresme).
Itineraries
Both plans use places with their own CostaMap page and the R1 train, which stops in Calella, Arenys de Mar and Mataró. The Montseny and Vic are easier by car.
Three days
Day 1
Calella
Start the morning on the Platja Gran in Calella, 1,338 metres long, with six access points. Walk in the shade of the pines in Parc Dalmau, then follow the coast to the lighthouse, where the interpretation centre lets you climb to the top and the viewpoint looks over the sea and the Montnegre i el Corredor. From July to September it opens Tuesday to Sunday, 5 to 9 pm; the rest of the year only at weekends and on holidays, 10 am to 2 pm. End the day at the rocky cove of Roca Grossa.
Day 2
Canet de Mar and Sant Pol
Enter Canet de Mar along the Riera de Sant Domènec, lined with century-old trees, and spend the morning in the house-museum of Lluís Domènech i Montaner (1849–1923), who restored and enlarged the Castell de Santa Florentina for his uncle. Adult entry is 5 €, it is free on the first Sunday of the month, and it is closed on Mondays. In the afternoon move on to Sant Pol de Mar, with its narrow streets and white terraced houses.

Finish at the Nau Gaudí, Gaudí’s first work (1883), with the Bassat contemporary art collection.

Day 7
Vic
Vic, the capital of Osona, lies about 70 km from Barcelona. Go on a Tuesday or Saturday, when the weekly market fills the Plaça Major, held there since the 9th century, with stalls of local produce, flowers, crafts and poultry. Then see the cathedral, where the bell tower and crypt survive from Bishop Oliba’s 11th-century Romanesque building and Josep M. Sert decorated the central nave, the 2nd-century Roman Temple and the Vic Museum of Medieval Art. Before driving back, try the local salchichón, a cured sausage.
