With Blue Flag award-winning beaches and an easygoing atmosphere, Malgrat de Mar holidays show off the best of the Costa Brava.
A modern classic
Nestled on Spain's north-east coast between the beach resorts of Calella and Lloret de Mar, Malgrat de Mar's a seaside town of two sides. Here, contemporary hotels and bars mingle with historical landmarks and old-world architecture – all fronted by a sweeping stretch of sand.
History to hand
There's plenty to keep you entertained in town, but it's worth venturing further afield too. The once-Roman town of Girona's a 45-minute drive away, with distinct pastel-coloured buildings, a charming stone-clad historic quarter and a museum dedicated to Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali.
