Malgrat de Mar travel guide & transfers
Affordable beach holidays at the northern tip of the Maresme
About Malgrat de Mar
Malgrat de Mar marks the northern end of the Maresme, where the Tordera river meets the sea and the Costa Brava begins. It offers good-value hotels, a long uncrowded beach and a small old town around the hill of Castell. The town is about 80 km from Barcelona Airport and 35 km from Girona, and Blanes, the first Costa Brava town, is just across the river.

Travel tips
- Girona Airport is the shorter transfer — compare both airports when booking flights.
- Bring water shoes: the sand is coarse and drops quickly into deeper water.
- Lloret de Mar nightlife is 20 minutes away by car.
