Maresme's grandma takes you on a picnic in the region
Now that the Covid measures are being relaxed, it is the perfect opportunity to make a getaway through the Maresme and enjoy a family picnic. And it is that in our region there is a great variety of areas for all tastes: surrounded by nature, by the beach, in urban areas... many of them also have a playground and play areas for my little ones.
So, with Picotet we recommend some of these areas (not all! Otherwise we won't have to do a second part) with some proposals that you can do in that town, so you can choose the one you like best and enjoy a perfect family day!
Barbecues La Llama Canyamars, Dosrius
La Flama Canyamars is located in Canyamars in the municipality of Dosrius, in the heart of the Parque del Montnegre y el Corredor, surrounded by a great diversity of nature and tranquility. You can hold your birthday party, family meals and other celebrations always with prior reservation. They have individual barbecues and also a coffee maker!
They are part of the Biosphere Tourism Sustainability project, offering products and services that do not compromise future generations and with a tourism model that is not aggressive with the natural environment that surrounds us.
How about visiting an Ice Well? It was the ice preservation method looooong years ago!! The mountain routes are also very surprising. You'll tell us, now!
Address: Can Sarrà, 7, Canyamars (Dosrius)
Rial de la Serp picnic area, Arenys de Mar
The Rial de la Serpiente picnic area in Arenys de Mar is located on Cavaió beach. It is an area where you can find 9 picnic tables, a fountain and several bins. You can walk along the path that passes through the beach area both by bike and on foot and enjoy the landscape of Arenys.
The area is very close to the beach, and next to it you will find some of the services and play areas that are on the Cavaió beach.
And what else can you do in the population? What would you say to us if we suggest you go for a ride with the La Marinada boat, visit an exclusive museum of minerals or bobbin lace, or let yourself be amazed by the arrival of the fishing boats around 4:00 p.m.? This Villa Marinera has everything!

Parc de la Font de la Llorita, Sant Andreu de Llavaneres
This park is a nice quiet place that is in the shade. The town hall remodeled it and has turned it into a perfect leisure area where some activities are carried out.
It has a children's play area with structures such as a wooden house, a zip line or a giant slide where the little ones will have a great time. It has five picnic tables (one of them double) distributed throughout the park.
Take advantage and visit the town, and be sure to buy an authentic Llavaneres cake. It will surely be the ideal dessert for a good picnic. You can also do nautical activities at the Club Náutico el Balís or visit the Archive Museum with pictorial works, cameras and old radios... we love to go and remember old times;)

Parc Palmar picnic area, Premià de Mar
It is an urban picnic area located in the municipality of Premià de Mar with open spaces to play and organize children's parties. It is the perfect option for a day at the beach or a bike ride and eat in the shade away from the sand, since the beach is on the other side of the road and the train track.
The area has 6 picnic tables, a sports area and a basketball hoop. Nearby is an underground access to the beach and a large parking area.
I don't know if you know who the Fabricanta is... at the Premià Printing Museum you will be able to learn a little more about the printing process and you will be able to meet her. And soon you will be able to visit the Roman Museum... ohhhhh that is important to know the past of these regions in the time of Augustus. I'll talk to you at the right time.
