What's on in Castelldefels

Castelldefels is Barcelona's nearest proper beach, a wide stretch of open sand just south of the city and the airport, backed by a low-rise grid of holiday and commuter homes with a castle on the wooded hill behind. It's relaxed and watersport-minded, popular with city families and well stocked with beachfront chiringuitos.

Life here leans towards the water and the open air: try-sailing sessions, a kitesurf zone, beach volleyball, and the Festa Major with its fiery Correfoc fire-run through the streets. Here's what's on while you're here.
