Castelldefels is located at the heart of Costa del Garraf, between the mountainous landscape of the massif of Garraf and the Mediterranean. More than five kilometres worth of fine beaches are found there, only a few minutes away form Barcelona and its international airport. Facilities for water sports are offered at the marina, and this included canoeing in the Olympic Canal, built especially for the 1992 Olympics. The historical remains and old buildings to be found in Castelldefels are also added attractions. Castelldefels' exceptional location and the distinction of being in the Baix Llobregat region, make this a tourist paradise with its typical Mediterranean climate with rain in spring and autumn, and some spectacular storms, dry summers and cool winters. Try some of the restaurants here that serve the unbeatable Catalan cuisine. Fresh fish and seafood is abundant and fruits and vegetables are locally produced as is the olive oil, all going to make some delicious traditional dishes.
