A long beach, a large garden and several routes give Sant Vicenç de Montalt a range of travel highlights. When choosing a hotel, you can first consider whether the beach and water sports, trails or culture will shape your stay. The road and bus connections can then help you plan your journey.

Beach and park: contrasting landscapes

Sant Vicenç de Montalt beach is straight, 1,200 metres long and an average of 80 metres wide. It has coarse sand and is located in a residential area outside the town centre. Take this location into account when planning your holiday if the beach is an important reason for your trip.

The Parc dels Germans Gabrielistes offers a different landscape: the nearly four-hectare garden is home to native regional flora and particularly beautiful, interesting centuries-old trees. An old water cistern was restored there in 2003. It once again holds water and feeds a small lake. So, in addition to its trees, the park has a distinct water feature that shapes the garden.

Routes for walking, cycling and exploring

The municipal Rutes Natura Local programme comprises six self-guided routes for walking or cycling. Another signposted nature route is the Ruta de Les 3 Viles. It connects Sant Vicenç de Montalt, Caldes d’Estrac and Sant Andreu de Llavaneres and can be explored on foot or by bicycle. When choosing, you can therefore consider not only the activity but also whether you would like to follow a route through several municipalities.

Tast de paisatge focuses on the landscape of regional foods: the walk encourages visitors to identify edible elements in the area around Sant Vicenç de Montalt. The Ruta de l’Ull de serp turns attention to the surrounding rock formations. The two experiences have different focuses—one on the connection between landscape and food, the other on the geological features of the area.

The third stage of the Eje Central del Maresme also passes through Sant Vicenç de Montalt. It starts at Parque Forestal de Mataró and runs via Cinco Sénies to Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Sant Vicenç de Montalt and Arenys de Munt. No particular mode of transport is specified for this stage; instead, its sequence of towns gives a regional overview of the route.

Culture and water sports

The Torre de Can Valls dates from the 18th century and was restored in the 1990s. The interior is not open to visitors. If you are interested in the town’s history, take this restriction into account when planning a visit.

The Base Nàutica de Sant Vicenç de Montalt offers paddleboarding, kayaking, catamaran sailing, dinghy sailing and snorkelling. The activities include private lessons, group activities and guided outings for all ability levels. You can therefore choose based on both the water sport you want to try and the format of the activity; the ability-level information refers to the Base Nàutica’s offerings.

Plan your journey and accommodation

By road, the town can be reached via the C-32 motorway, exit 108, as well as the N-II and BV-5031. Bus route C21 connects Sant Vicenç de Montalt with the Estació Renfe Caldes d’Estrac railway station. If you plan to travel by bus, check the timetable before setting off. This lets you factor either a car journey or the connection to the railway station into your plans.

Then consider which of the travel options mentioned you plan to use. This allows you to search for accommodation in line with your own travel plans, without turning beach and nature experiences into a fixed daily itinerary.
