Sant Pol de Mar forms part of the Maresme region, a narrow strip of land between the mountains, Serralada litoral, and the sea. Old traditions, gastronomy and a rich cultural inheritance have made this area north of Barcelona a favourite international holiday destination with a very mild an favourable climate. The Nature Reserves in the mountains provide all year round activities and adventure sports, golf, horseback riding just to mention a few. For the beach tourist the region offers long sandy beaches and great watersport activities including fishing and sailing. Many fine internationally known Restaurants have locally grown produce on their menu, such as strawberries, tomatoes, peas, beans and mushrooms and the best seafood the Mediterranean has to offer. History goes back to prehistoric times, the dolmen of La Roca and to the middle ages with its castles and fortified churches and many examples of fine modernist architecture. Nearly every village or town has a Museum.
