Castelldefels is located about 20 km (12 mi) southwest of Barcelona, just to the north of the massís del Garraf and is the last town on the coast before the comarca of Garraf. The town is famous for its long beach (more than 5 km), for being the place of residence of many famous sportsmen and for being the city which inspired the creation of the character 'El Neng de Castefa' who used to appear on the late night show called 'BFN' hosted by the showman and presenter Andreu Buenafuente. During the summer, many people from Barcelona and the countryside visit it. Nearby towns include Gavà, Viladecans, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Sitges and el Prat de Llobregat. Castelldefels borders the coast of the Mediterranean Sea between Sitges and Gavà.
The Olympic canal, called Canal Olímpic de Catalunya, built for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games of Barcelona is in the town and can be visited and used by anyone.
Castelldefels is ideally positioned for access to the adventures that the city of Barcelona offers and also for the more leisurely activities associated with the sun and fun that is Sitges and further south the wine region of Penedes and of course the Torres vineyards.One can even venture further south to where the Romans had their base in Tarragona.
Access to all these attractions could not be simpler with excellent road and rail links to all of them and the cost is very reasonable.
