Where to stay in Vilassar de Mar
Vilassar de Mar is small enough to walk end to end, so the old town centre puts you a few minutes from both the street market pitches and the seafront. Try Town Centre or look for accommodation along the beachfront for a relaxed base. Mataró and Premià de Mar are a short train ride up the coast if you want a wider choice of hotels.
