Review:
The pretty village of Castelldelfels is easily accessible from central Barcelona in around thirty minutes. The village boasts a 6 km stretch of lovely sandy beach, almost completely devoid of the usual high-rise apartment buildings which characterize so much of the Spanish coastline. The beach is the primary draw-card, offering safe bathing, kite-surfing, body boarding and beach volley ball. You can hire a lounger and there are plenty of little beach bars to keep you hydrated. The Canal Olimpic was built as a training area for Olympic athletes – today you can enjoy kayaking, rowing and cable-skiing on the canal. If you prefer to explore beyond the beaches you can visit the hilltop castle, the pretty Parroquia Santa Maria church or visit the Gava Mines Archaeological Site.
