Castelldefels, Coastal municipality in Baix Llobregat, Spain.

Castelldefels extends along 6 kilometers of Mediterranean coastline between the Garraf Massif and the sea, featuring wide sandy beaches and natural areas.

The municipality developed around an 11th-century fortress that served as a defense point against pirates, with watchtowers built across the coastline during the 17th century.

The Canal Olímpic de Catalunya, constructed for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, remains an active training center for water sports and recreational activities.

Located 20 kilometers from Barcelona, Castelldefels connects to the city through regular train services and the C-31 coastal highway network.

The Castelldefels Astronomical Observatory provides specialized equipment for studying celestial objects and hosts regular stargazing sessions throughout the year.
