The municipality of Sant Pol de Mar, located just 20 minutes from Mataró, stands as a lesser-known but charming coastal destination thanks to its modernist heritage and crystal-clear beaches.

The narrow streets and modernist facades of the old town, along with its fishing environment, make Sant Pol de Mar one of the most attractive towns in the Maresme region. It is easily accessible from Mataró, as the journey by train or car takes only about 20 minutes.
One of the most characteristic places in Sant Pol de Mar is Can Planiol, a modernist house dating back to 1910. This building stands out for the characteristic elements of its facade, featuring blue, white, and maroon mosaics, which perfectly harmonize with the atmosphere of this coastal village.
The Ermita de Sant Pau (Hermitage of Sant Pau) and the Museu de Pintura (Painting Museum) are other cultural points of interest in the municipality. For those wishing to delve into local history, the 'El Sant Pol de los Pescadores' tour is offered, allowing visitors to learn about the beginnings of this town of small white houses and crystalline waters.
