L'Altra Maria Boat Monument
Highlight • Monument
This is more of an observation than advice. Who created the favorite place, title it "l'altra Marta", but it is wrong, the monument in question is actually called "l'altra Maria"...

Cristall Beach
Highlight • Beach
Located between Riera Canyadó and Torrent Vallmajor, Cristall beach gets its name from the old factory dedicated to the artisanal production of glass and originally called Cristall Badalona.
In 2019, the media echoed the alleged discovery of explosive devices in the sea by a diver. The presence of the corps of artificers of the navy confirmed that they were concrete columns.

Anís del Mono Statue
Highlight • Monument
This monkey, known for its famous drink "Anís del Mono", is an emblem in the city of Badalona, one of the oldest factories in Spain of this spiritual drink. This factory that was born in 1870, as the label indicates, by the brothers Vicente and José Bosch y Grau, becoming one of the most important aniseed in Spain, was a drink used in confectionery and is still marketed in supermarkets and in glasses in the current hospitality industry.
In 1897, Vicente Bosch called the first poster contest in Spain for his brand. Several of the best painters of the time were presented.2 4 In 1898 the exhibition of the works was held. The chosen one was the poster made by Ramón Casas entitled Mona y mono. Vicente Bosch was also the first to place an advertising light in 1913, in the middle of Madrid's Puerta del Sol. 2 Months later, another light was inaugurated in Plaça de Catalunya, next to Passeig de Gracia, in Barcelona.
Another of the emblems of Anís del Mono is its bottle. It was on a trip to Paris, when Vicente Bosch fell in love with a bottle of perfume that he gave to his wife. After asking the perfumer for the rights to the container, in 1902 he registered it by putting the famous label with the monkey.

Barca Maria Beach
Highlight • Beach
A "family" beach thanks to the services available. It is relatively easy to park, on the other side of the train tracks, there is public parking 🅿️ or blue zone 👮🏻♀️. There is a beach bar a few meters away, showers, fountains and first-aid posts 🆘, that's why the "family" beach, for all "audiences"... In summer it is usually very crowded, especially on weekends, so it is one of those beaches where you have to go early if you want to find a hole of two square meters of sand to plant the umbrella... 😅⛱️
