The Maresme: the South of Costa Brava!

The Maresme is on the coast in the South of Costa Brava.

 

It occupies about 50 kilometres. It is famous for its climate and the holiday ambience you can find all year round in towns like Lloret de Mar or Calella.

 

People from Barcelona have always liked this coast and it was easier to get there when in 1848 the first train was constructed in Spain and went from Barcelona to Mataró.

 

Nowadays this line it still exists but it is much longer than before and it is commonly used to discover this coast. It has air conditioning. 

 

 

 Our selection of sightseeings to discover the Maresme:

La Llar dels Pescadors - Calella de Mar

La Llar dels Pescadors - Calella de Mar

La Llar dels Pescadors - Calella de Mar

One good reason to stop by Calella de Mar is to eat at La Llar dels Pescadors, one of the finest fish restaurants of the Costa Brava.
Lluis, the chef is not only a virtuoso “pitch and putter”, when at work fish swings as well for our best pleasure!!

Located on the sea front, right at the beach, we appreciate particularly at La Llar dels Pescadors: starters like grilled gambas (11,50€), all kind of seafood a la plancha (around 9€). Then it will be difficult for you to choose between the lobster rice (19,80€), the paella of fish (15,40€) or the sea cod with pil-pil (13,20€). Chef likes precision, you can see that at the prices in centimes of euros.. We like him for that..

Se almuerzo muy bien con un precio razonable. A destacar la merluza con tomate, aunque un poco carilla, los callos. Vale la pena.
