Mataró, the capital of Maresme, enjoys a privileged location: situated between the sea and the Coastal Range, just 30 minutes north of Barcelona and very close to the most touristy towns in the region. The city has managed to gather and preserve traditions, history, heritage, culture, and natural surroundings to offer them today to its visitors. A walk through the city center allows you to discover a quality and diverse commercial and gastronomic offer, which also includes the traditional markets of El Rengle and Plaza de Cuba, with the best Collits en Casa products.
This offer combines with an attractive and pleasant environment where you can be surprised by displays of rich heritage: the Roman legacy of the ancient city of Iluro, the beauty of the baroque ensemble of the Chapel of Dolores in the Basilica of Santa María, or the Nau Gaudí, the first work of the modernist architect Antoni Gaudí and currently home to the Museum of Contemporary Art where the Bassat Collection is exhibited, are just some examples.
