2025 Maresme Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Barcelona (Region) A beautiful but strenuous hike from Canet de Mar to the Cross! A very good walk surrounded by forest, lots of climbing but nice dirt road, surrounded by pine trees, a good excursion, the view at the top is spectacular with views of the sea, the coastal mountains, Canet and the surroundings. It is highly recommended because you can take the train to Canet de Mar, and the road is very close to the station. If you walk from the station, you can reach the top of the mountain in 45 minutes. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Catalonia

Mediterranean Coast Tour of Spain ~ Barcelona (Region) This is a well-preserved modernist castle that has been meticulously restored and maintained. We visited on Saturday at 12:30 with a guide, and the tickets were purchased through the castle's website. In my case, I opted for the guided tour, which was excellent because the guide provided a comprehensive overview of the castle's history right from the start. The tour lasted 1.5 hours and was very enjoyable. You cannot visit the entire castle, as one half is a foundation and the other half is a private area owned by a family. It's crucial to be punctual because they close the gates, and if you're late, you'll be left outside.
