The surroundings
Mas Corazón is located in one of the most beautiful regions of Spain: Catalonia. A land of contrasts — from idyllic beaches and wild coves to charming villages and vibrant cities. From our location in Tordera, you're surrounded by nature and just minutes from the sea. The nearest coastal town, Blanes, is only 7 km away. There, you can wander through the old town, enjoy lunch at one of its many cosy restaurants (from vegan cafés to traditional Catalan cuisine), or visit the famous botanical garden overlooking the sea.
From Blanes, the Costa Brava begins — a coastline that truly lives up to its name: wild, powerful, and breathtakingly beautiful. Think rugged cliffs, turquoise coves, and hidden gems like Santa Cristina, Cala Pola or Sa Tuna — perfect for swimming, hiking, or simply disconnecting.
Don’t miss the charming fishing village of Cadaqués, which inspired artists like Dalí. You can even visit his surreal home in Port Lligat. Hike through the dramatic landscapes of Cap de Creus or take a boat tour to discover secret coves only accessible by sea.
Craving a bit of culture? Explore historic villages like Begur, Pals, or Calella de Palafrugell, where cobblestone streets and local markets take you back in time.
And if you love a city vibe, you’ll fall for places like vibrant Barcelona or its smaller, elegant sister Girona — just a 30-minute drive from Tordera.
Green, greener, greenest: The Catalan Nature
Between your toes the sand creeps up. You pat your feet, put on your flip-flops and walk to the car. You just took a dip in the seas and tomorrow a mountain hike is scheduled. Catalonia's environment and nature is rich. For example, 1.5 hours from Tordera you are in one of the natural parks in the Pyrenees where you can hike and within 30 minutes you are on the beach. Don't know where to start? We have made a list of all activities in the area.
