The neighbourhood
Castelldefels features a 5km wide beach with fine yellow sand. In contrast to the city beach (Barceloneta), this beach is not at all touristic and, thanks to the long boulevard and wide sandy strip, it has sufficient space and tranquility –this beach has one of the highest scores in the region. The beach can be reached easily and safely on foot.
There are excellent shower and toilet facilities on the boulevard and lounges and umbrellas can be rented at the nearest beach bar. The boulevard offers an excellent opportunity for cycling, running or walking. Furthermore, there are two nautica clubs where surf and sailing equipment can be rented. The boulevard is dotted with many nice beach bars and restaurants where you can eat or have a drink. You can have breakfast around the corner between the locals, or you can pick up fresh bread and delicacies at the bakery. There are many good restaurants within walking distance of the house. The nearest supermarket is a mini market about 500 meters away. In the center of Castelldefels are several large supermarkets and shops. The recently opened Viladecans The Style Outlet is 5 km away.
In addition, the center of Barcelona offers plenty to discover - the city of the famous architect Gaudí is a sight in its own right! The combination of his inimitable works such as Park Güell and the unfinished Sagrada Familia, more than 35,000 shops and a rich nightlife make the Spanish city extremely popular for a visit.
Transport
Transportation from the airport to the villa will be about 25 euros by taxi and takes ca 15 min (10 km). It is also possible to get from the airport by bus or train, but this will require changing lines.To get to Barcelona, the bus is a simple and cheap solution - the bus runs within 30 minutes to pza España and 40 minutes to pza Catalunya and stops 50 meters from the house.
