Cabrera de Mar
Cabrera de Mar is a municipality of the comarca of Maresme in
Catalonia, Spain.
It is located next to the Català mediterranean coast, between the municipalities of Vilassar de Mar and Mataró, although the urban centre is at about inland, in a small valley between the hills of Burriac and Montcabrer. Apart from the two mentioned, Cabrera de Mar also borders with the municipalities of Cabrils and Argentona.
Population in Cabrera de Mar is quite scattered in several nucleus of different origins. The casc antic, Agell, Sant Joan de Munt and Mas Terrillo are located inland, whereas Pla de l'Avellà, Costamar and Bonamar are located next to the coast.
The town centre has buildings in a wide range of styles: neoclassical, modernista, noucentista
and simply eclectic.
Like almost all municipalities of Maresme, Cabrera de Mar has been historically very well connected with the rest of the comarca and with Barcelona thanks to old Camí Ral and railroad. Communications have been enhanced in recent years with the construction of the C-32's Barcelona-Mataró section, also the first autopista to be constructed in all the Iberian Peninsula.
