The hotel is called ‘Raymar’. Not to be confused with ‘Raymar Playa’.
Three stars.
Overall impression: great.
The level of service is good.
The sea can be seen from the balcony, walk 7 minutes. The hotel has a swimming pool.
Buffet - 6 euros. The menu is rich. Large selection of fruits. In the evening you have to pay for all drinks.
There are people at the reception who speak Russian.
There is only one minus: poor soundproofing of the rooms. But this is not a problem if you are not going to spend a lot of time in the room. Everything else is wonderful.
The hotel is good. However, others provide approximately the same high level of service. So the main question is: Where exactly on the long coast do you want to stay.
The city of Malgrat de Mar is very convenient for its location. It is located in Catalonia on the Costa del Maresme, on the seashore, close enough to big cities and places that tourists like to visit. You can swim in the sea and go on excursions (even to the south of France).
In addition, from here it is easy to get to Barcelona and Girona on your own. See a map of the Costa del Maresme here mytours. people. ru/spain0.html
It takes about an hour to get to Barcelona by train. Very comfortably. The train runs along the entire coast in close proximity to the sea. You can enjoy the sea view all the way. In some places, the distance from the rails to the water's edge is no more than 5 meters. In the suburbs of Barcelona, the train dives underground and follows the metro line. Thus, without any transfers, you can get to the city center, to Plaza Catalunya. All tourist routes of Barcelona intersect here.
Malgrat de Mar consists of a bustling tourist part (a continuous line of hotels and shops for tourists) and a quiet old part of the city, where the locals live.
The weather in May is ambiguous. On the one hand, the air temperature is high: 23-27 degrees. But, on the other hand, a fresh wind constantly blows from the sea.
So you can walk all day in a light jacket. But, oddly enough, this almost does not interfere with sunbathing and swimming in the pool or the sea. The water temperature in the sea is about 20 degrees. The second half of May, of course, is not the beach season yet. At this time, the first sunbathers are just beginning to appear on the beaches. If you go a little further from the sea, for example to Girona, there is no wind there and, of course, much hotter.
It is better to buy souvenirs in large stores here, on the coast. For example, Santa Sussana has a large store. The city of Santa Sussana is located next to Malgrat de Mar. Crossing the road from one side of the street to the other, you find yourself in another city. Yes, I digress. About souvenirs ...Both in Barcelona and in numerous shops on the coast, the same thing is sold. In Barcelona, of course, the prices are higher.
What surprised? (not in ascending order, just listing)
- Narrow roads and roundabouts at junctions in Malgrat de Mar and other coastal towns.
One can only wonder how huge tourist buses pass here.
- Trains. There is only one path between stations. Trains run on the same rails in both directions. Only in the area of the stations the rails diverge into two lines.
Barcelona. Here, of course, there are not enough words to describe everything. This is a must see...
- The seaport and the whole city, at a glance, from the highest point of Barcelona.
-- A cable car running from this highest point directly over the bay.
--Musical fountains 'dancing' to the song 'Barcelona' performed by Fredi Mercury.
- An aquarium with huge sharks swimming over your head.
- The way the excursions in Barcelona are conveniently organized.
-- Huge, seemingly deserted, the airport of Barcelona.
