What to do this spring in L'Ametlla de Mar
Spring in L'Ametlla de Mar is synonymous with sea, gastronomy, and nature. With the arrival of good weather, the town becomes a perfect setting to enjoy the outdoors, discover its most emblematic landscapes, and be surprised by local traditions. Longer days and pleasant temperatures invite walking, savoring the seafood cuisine, and living unique experiences both in the town center and along the coast. If you are looking for ideas to make the most of this time of year, we suggest five essential plans to discover the Calera spring in all its essence.
1. Walk the "Camí de Ronda" and discover a spectacular coastline
The "Camí de Ronda" L'Ametlla de Mar is one of the town’s natural jewels and a must-visit for sea lovers and hikers. This route follows the coastline and allows you to discover some of the most iconic and wild coves of the Mediterranean coast. During spring, the landscape is especially vibrant: Mediterranean vegetation blooms, the deep blue of the sea contrasts with the green tones of the pine trees, and the atmosphere is much calmer than in the high season.
Walking along the "Camí de Ronda" is an experience to connect with nature and enjoy unique spots such as Cala Forn, Cala Vidre, Cala Xelin, Sant Jordi... Whether you want to take a short family stroll or a longer route, the path offers sections for all levels and is ideal for combining hiking, photography, and swimming in crystal-clear waters.
2. Discover the Efímurs murals
Spring is also a perfect time to discover the town center of L'Ametlla de Mar through the Efímurs, an artistic proposal that fills various spaces in the town. This initiative turns the streets into an open-air gallery, where art merges with the everyday environment and gives a new perspective to public spaces.
Strolling through the town’s streets in search of the Efímurs is an ideal activity to do with family, friends, or as a couple. Every corner may hide a surprising visual composition. Moreover, it is a different way to get to know the town, as it combines contemporary culture, local heritage, and a very visual experience, perfect for photography lovers and charming getaways.
3.Enjoy the Red Tuna Gastronomic Days
The Red Tuna Gastronomic Days are one of the most emblematic events on the town’s gastronomic calendar and a highly anticipated date for lovers of good cuisine. Although this season’s event has already ended, spring remains an ideal time to discover L'Ametlla de Mar’s close connection with red tuna and the fishing tradition that has shaped its identity.
During the Red Tuna Day, celebrated as part of the Gastronomic Days, visitors can see firsthand how this high-quality fish is prepared and handled, with demonstrations, tastings, and activities related to fishing and local cuisine. During these weeks, the area’s restaurants offer dishes inspired by this local product, ranging from traditional recipes to more innovative creations.
4. Taste the "Fideus Rossejats" and the most authentic seafood cuisine
The "Fideus Rossejats" Gastronomic Days are another of the spring’s highlighted events. This year, they take place from May 29 to June 7. These days pay tribute to one of the most traditional dishes of the local cuisine: toasted noodles, a recipe born aboard fishing boats and deeply rooted in the town’s maritime culture.
During this period, several restaurants offer special menus that allow you to taste this recipe prepared with fish stock and fresh products from the fish market. It is a gastronomic experience that goes far beyond the dish, as it connects with the town’s history and roots.
In addition, the "Fideus Rossejats" Day, which is celebrated as part of these days, allows visitors to experience the tradition more fully. During the day, there is an outdoor cooking contest, public tastings, and festive activities that combine gastronomy and maritime culture. Participating is an excellent way to discover the authenticity of L'Ametlla de Mar through its flavors and to feel up close the festive spirit surrounding this emblematic dish.
5. Discover the sea with nautical activities and outdoor experiences
With the arrival of good weather, the sea becomes one of the main protagonists of spring. The mild temperatures and the calm of the coast make it the ideal time to engage in activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, or boat trips to discover the coastline from a different perspective.
Exploring the coves by kayak allows access to hidden spots and the chance to admire the landscape from the sea, while snorkeling offers the possibility of discovering the richness of the seabed in clear waters. For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, there are also boat trips to enjoy the coast and see how spring transforms the shoreline into a space full of light, color, and tranquility.
Moreover, this season is ideal for combining these activities with a visit to the fishing port, strolls along the waterfront, or moments of relaxation on one of the town’s many terraces, enjoying the Mediterranean atmosphere that makes spring one of the best seasons to visit L'Ametlla de Mar.
