Pineda de Mar

Pineda de Mar is situated between Calella and Santa Susanna, which are all actually located on the Costa Maresme, commonly regarded as being part of the better-known Costa Brava. The Costa Maresme extends from just north of Barcelona, 65km northeast to the southern boundary of Costa Brava.

The quiet resort of Pineda de Mar is surrounded by the hills of the Montnegre National Park, it has a lovely long beach, generally un-crowded and though nightlife is low-key here, there is a wide selection of bars and restaurants, and some evening entertainment can be found within the hotels.

The area has a host of entertainment options of the cultural and holiday fun kind, with waterparks, an aquatic zoo and even the Port Aventura theme park (about 2hrs drive) all within easy reach. There are plenty of interesting day trips and local excursions to be enjoyed from the resort or travel further afield to the major visitor attractions of Barcelona and the Benedictine monastery in the mountainous region of Montserrat.

In nearby Santa Susanna is the ‘Activ Natur Adventure Park’ which provides assault courses with varying degrees of difficulty catering for children, teens and adults, as well as the Massif Montnegre National Park attracting nature lovers, hikers, mountain bikers and horse-riders.
