Cabrera de Mar brings together archaeological heritage, connections to wine, nature and the coast. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing these highlights by their character: historical themes include an Iberian settlement and Roman sites; the natural park and beaches offer different points of interest.
Iberian settlement and Roman heritage
The largest Iberian settlement in Laietania is located on the mountain above Castell de Burriac. The site is defined both by its position above the castle and by its significance within Laietania. For travellers interested in Iberian history, it is a distinct highlight, different from Cabrera de Mar’s Roman heritage. The name Laietania places it within a broader historical context than that of the individual settlement.
Ca l'Arnau adds two Roman aspects. The site included a facility for producing wine amphorae, known as a figlina. Here, the technical term refers to a production facility, bringing the manufacture of these vessels into focus. Ca l'Arnau’s Roman thermal complex is also a significant highlight: it is one of the best-preserved in the Maresme. The production facility and thermal complex offer different perspectives on the site’s Roman heritage.
Another archaeological highlight is at Can Benet. Its structures have been consolidated and prepared for museum display. This gives Can Benet a different character from Ca l'Arnau, where the figlina and thermal complex are defining features. Visitors interested in archaeological sites can distinguish them by their specific themes: settlement, production, thermal complex and structures prepared for museum display.
Wine connections and historical dates
The connection to wine takes two different forms. The 20th edition of the Festa de la Verema took place in September 2025. Another format was the wine tourism route to the Forns Romans and Masia de Can Bartomeu. The 2024 summer programme included a wine tasting and a snack. The festival and the route appeal to different interests: the Festa is a specific festival event, while the route included a wine tasting and a snack. If you would like to choose an event as a reason for your trip, check the current dates before travelling.
Nature and coast
For nature lovers, Font Picant is a point of interest in its own right: the information point provides access to Parc Natural de la Serralada Litoral. Cabrera de Mar’s tourist information point provides visitors with information about the municipality’s natural, historical and cultural heritage. This offers both a specific connection to the natural park and a point of contact for information on the municipality’s various themes.
The coast is also clearly defined: Cabrera de Mar has a 2,500-metre-long coastline with two beaches, Platja dels Vinyals and Platja del MolĂ. The total length describes the coastline; the two names identify the beaches. This makes it easy to consider the coast as a specific highlight alongside archaeology and the natural park.
When choosing a theme for your trip, you can use these differences as a guide: the archaeological heritage offers various historical highlights, the wine connections include a festival and a route, and the coast and natural park add landscapes to the mix. This makes it easy to explore Cabrera de Mar according to the highlight that interests you most.
