"At sunset, Castelldefels is one of those of broad, dreamy, spacious stretches of sand that makes you vow to move beside the sea, adopt a dog, and spend every evening strolling by the water with said dog. The beach wraps around like a pale-yellow paint stroke and never seems to fill up completely, even in peak season. It’s still well-loved, though—by kite-surfers in April and May, by locals after work, by families on weekends, and by Barcelona visitors who have caught wind of its reputation." - Gemma Askham
