Canet de Mar

The Mediterranean Sea defines the setting of Canet de Mar — a beachside urban strip gives way inland to the wooded foothills of the Montnegre massif. This Maresme town forms part of the rail-and-road corridor following Catalonia’s coast north of Barcelona, yet its older centre retains a distinctly local scale. Modernisme is central to its identity: architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner remodelled the medieval Castell de Santa Florentina here in the early 20th century, and several local buildings are associated with his work. Beaches, a seafront promenade and the hills behind town make the link between coast and interior especially clear.
