Mataró might have a long history, but it's more concealed than what you'll find between the Gothic streets of Barcelona. That's where the Mataró Museum comes in. It's laden with carved busts of noble Romans from when the town was a bustling port of the mighty empire. It's also got curious works of Modernism and engravings by the master Goya. From there, it's just a short hop to the Mataro Art Contemporani to keep the culture flowing. That cutting-edge exhibition space has everything from graffiti murals to surrealist installation work. It's sure to get you thinking.
Stroll between the grand blocks of Mataró and you'll find yourself lost in crisscrossing grids of gilded 17th-century palaces and pretty squares. That all changes as you hit the area of Lluro, where the preserved remains of mosaic-dressed villas and bathhouses reveal the Roman past of the city. Those looking to bag Mataró holiday rentals on the marina are in for a medley of tapas kitchens and seafood restaurants, instead. That's also the place to go if you're looking to get out on the Med – yacht charters and boat hires are everywhere around the quays.
This Catalan port town certainly has enough culture, art and local life to keep Mataró holiday rentals an attractive prospect for city breakers in the winter months between December and January. However, if you prefer al fresco dining on the Med, days beachcombing along the Costa Brava sands and touring hot Spanish streets, you might be better off waiting for the summer. That runs between May and August. Autumn, in September and October, is a top pick for those looking to hike in the nearby sierras.
You can see the hills of Catalonia in a haze of greenery behind the blocks of Mataró. Many travellers will even seek out the luxury Mataró holiday rentals with pools up on the wooded ridges that surround the city. This will provide panoramas of sandy beachfronts and doorstep access to the trails of the Natural Park of Montnegre i el Corredor. Wild and largely untouched, the latter's got adrenaline-pumping canopy adventures and plenty of marked walks, all wriggling through oak forests and past natural ponds in the shadow of the rising Coast Serralada massifs.
