THE BEST BEACH IN THE WORLD…read more -Beautiful, crystal clear water -Not overly crowded, very few tourists -Water temperature is amazingly warm -Beach remains shallow for at least 50 yards into the sea (never seen anything like it) -Small full-service bar right on the beach -Oh yeah, and topless women What more could you want? I'm not exaggerating that this was the best time I've ever had at the beach. This place is absolutely amazing, especially when compared with the other beaches in Barcelona. Not only would I come back here again, but I would even jump at the opportunity to live here in Castelldefelds if I ever get the chance. Just a fun beach town with a fantastic, relaxed vibe.

Hop on the Metro and we were there, amongst thousands of Spaniards doing exactly the same as us. Wandering along the prom, arm in arm.

Somorrostro beach is currently one of the most emblematic beaches in the city, and the beach became one of the most popular in the city. I felt comfortable in this place. When I came to this beach, the season was in Winter, but I felt a gentle warmth. Maybe it may be different from Japanese beach in winter. Though it was warmer, nobody was swimming in the Mediterranean. During the 19th century and part of the 20th century, the beach, and much of the neighboring beach areas was occupied by a shanty town, inhabited by 15,000 people living in 2,000 slums. Carmen Amaya, the most famous flamenco dancer of all time, was born here. Nowadays, it is located under the Somorrostro arcade in front of the Hospital Del Mar, the Beach Centre is an environmental education facility dedicated to promoting the city seafront. This centre organises all kinds of storytelling, visits, talks and games.
