Profile - Costa de Maresme - Maresme coast, Spain

Profile - Costa de Maresme coast, Spain

The Costa Maresme is the geographical coast line along the Mediterranean Sea to the north-east of Barcelona city. It starts at Malgrat de Mar and ends at Blanes, where the Costa Brava coast begins. There are many lovely beaches on the Costa de Maresme, north of Barcelona, and they are easy to reach. There is an inexpensive train connection from station Catalunya on Barcelona's central square, Placa de Catalunya, that runs up the coast ending at the coastal town Blanes. There are many stops along the way and trains are air-conditioned and confortable. The train tracks are along the coast so you get lovely sea views on one side and green hills on the other.

Beaches on Maresme coast

The maresma beaches before the town of Mataró can be a little crowded in the summer, but they are still not as manic as Barcelona's beaches. The nices Maresme beaches, in our opinion, are after Mataró, especially  on the Costa de Maresme are Caldes d’Estrac and Sant Pol de Mar. 

The coastal city of Mataró is the capital city of the Maresme region. Mataró is an industrial city with a large port. The first train line in Spain was Barcelona to Mataró which was built in 1848 and this opened up the Maresme to summer visitors when the wealthy Barcelona families started building summer residences in the Maresme.
