The best MTB trails around Premià De Dalt

Located in the heart of the old town of Dosrius, this church has a much more curious history than it appears. Although the current building was constructed from 1526, a temple already existed in this location during the Middle Ages. One of its most surprising stories occurred during the Civil War. The church was looted, its altars destroyed, and the building converted into a warehouse for grain, seeds, and straw. A magnificent 16th-century Renaissance altarpiece was lost, but the curious thing is that, many years later, researchers managed to identify seven original paintings that had survived. Four are preserved in the Mataró Museum and three in the church itself. There are more curiosities: formerly, families could pay to have their own pew inside the church. And above the vaults, there is a space known as "the owls' room," where an old manual mechanism for raising and lowering the central lamp is still preserved. If you can go inside, also look at the floor: there is a funerary tombstone from 1776 belonging to the Vallmajor family, one of the most important in the town.

Small fountain in the old town of Dosrius, right at the foot of the stairs leading up to the church of Sant Iscle i Santa Victòria. Although the fountain we see today dates from 1974, this spot has quite a history. Before running water arrived in the village, locals used to come here to fetch water for their homes. The original fountain was next to Can Dama and was so cherished that when the Town Hall remodeled the square and replaced it with the current one, there was considerable controversy among the residents. As a curiosity, the water originally came from the Dosrius aquifer and was part of a concession that distributed 30,000 liters daily among three village fountains. Today it is simply a small corner of the old town, but for many years it was one of those places around which the daily life of the village revolved. If you pass through Dosrius by bike, it's worth stopping for a moment.

One of the most atmospheric and lively areas in Premià de Mar, especially on weekends. In addition to the port, restaurants, and terraces, it's worth stopping by the skate and scooter park: it's always full of children and young people doing jumps and tricks, and you can spend a good while watching how they manage. There are many options to regain your strength, but I would highlight Salicornia, a good place to sit quietly and enjoy a great pizza before continuing the coastal route.

Un monument megalític datat entre el final del neolític i l'edat del bronze, considerat un dels jaciments prehistòrics més importants del Maresme.

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

Just before crossing the N-2 highway, there's a bench with unobstructed views of Barcelona on clear days. A great place to stop, breathe, and take it all in. If the sea is rough, you might even see surfers—yes, surfers—because decent waves form in this area. Easy access, no complicated detours. A short break with a visual reward. Highly recommended.

Beautiful town, which I hope to visit 🤩 to experience all its charm
