Right in the middle of the Maresme Coast, Pineda de Mar is a village where hospitality reigns, with a long, broad beach of thick-grained sand, golden and clean, characteristic of this area of the coast, which, along with its modern hotel accommodations, make it a privileged vacation resort.
The urban configuration of green, tree-filled squares with many a nook graced with flowers and fountains, are the counterpoint which combines the holiday pleasure of sun and beach with the cool, serene calm of the evening.
A bountiful selection of cafeterias, terraces and restaurants, along with a large commercial district, offers you the possibility of enjoying a great family holiday.
Pineda de Mar is also a significant cultural centre: the Tharrats Graphic Arts Foundation, which houses the collection of the painter Josep Tharrats, is amongst the main attractions.
The town also offers countless facilities and playing fields for practising sports. Football, basketball or French bowls are the mainstays; in the latter case, the town even hosts an international tournament. There is also no lack of offerings for lovers of water-sports.
A modern hospital is located just 2 km outside of town.
Pineda de Mar is an ideal equidistant spot for starting out on all types of day trips, both in the surrounding area and in the Montnegre mountain range which forms the backdrop of the town. You will find a wealth of information at the Tourist Office to make your stay a most pleasant and profitable one.
