Guide to Santa Susanna

Situated in the Costa Meresme district of Catalonia, Santa Susanna is a spa and vacation destination. Barcelona is just 60 kilometres away. If for no other reason than the fact that it is a brand-new resort, it is currently among the most popular tourist spots in Spain.

Nonetheless, Santa Susanna's unique attractiveness has not faded over time. Its little cobblestone alleys, old houses, and monuments, along with the fact that much of the local way of life has been preserved, give it a unique character. Perched atop the hill, the community is dominated by a charming white church. Don't let the notion of a dreary atmosphere deceive you, though.

Excellent services are provided to tourists, including a large selection of water sports (mini golf, canoeing, windsurfing, parasailing, water skiing, tennis courts, and boat rental), pastry shops, and international restaurants offering unique gastronomic experiences. There is live music at several clubs and pubs, which close at two in the morning. But some locations can close early in the morning.

The area is renowned for its stunning, immaculate beaches with somewhat rougher sand. You'll get into deep water fast because the beaches are two km long and have a rather steep sea entry. You can reach Malgrat de Mar, another well-liked tourist destination, via a boulevard lined with palm trees.

One of the key locations for commercial fruit and vegetable processing is the rich farmland surrounding the town. It's interesting to note that organic regulators, or beneficial insects that eliminate pests and minimise the need for hazardous pesticides, are employed to safeguard regional crops. Every Tuesday afternoon, there are markets here where you may sample local fruits and vegetables. Take part in the celebration celebrating the town's patron saint if you happen to visit the resort in August. Enjoying festive music, dancing, street food, kid's games, and sporting events are all part of the festivities. Another well-known traditional dance is the "sardana," in which participants dance in a circle while holding hands to represent the brotherhood and unity of people of Catalonia.
