A Journey Through Time: Discovering Castelldefels

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that blend fun and education for my children. Our recent adventure, a Private Transfer from Barcelona to Tarragona with a stop in Castelldefels, was a delightful surprise that ticked all the boxes.

Our journey began in the bustling city of Barcelona, where we were picked up by a comfortable private transfer. The kids were thrilled to have a spacious vehicle all to themselves, and I appreciated the stress-free start to our day. As we left the city behind, the landscape transformed into a picturesque blend of rolling hills and coastal views, setting the stage for our upcoming adventure.

Exploring the Enchanting Castelldefels Castle

Upon arriving in Castelldefels, we were greeted by the impressive sight of the Castelldefels Castle. This 10th-century fortress, perched on a hill, offers a glimpse into the region’s rich history. The guided tour was both informative and engaging, capturing the attention of my children with tales of knights and ancient battles.

The castle’s gardens were a highlight for us, providing a perfect spot for a family picnic. The panoramic views of the surrounding area were breathtaking, and we took plenty of photos to remember the day. The castle’s renovations have preserved its historical charm while making it accessible and enjoyable for families.

A Relaxing Retreat by the Sea

After our castle exploration, we had some time to unwind by the beach. Castelldefels is known for its beautiful sandy shores, and it did not disappoint. The kids enjoyed building sandcastles and splashing in the gentle waves, while I relished the opportunity to relax and soak up the sun.

This stopover in Castelldefels was a perfect blend of history, nature, and relaxation. It provided a wonderful break in our journey from Barcelona to Tarragona, allowing us to connect with the local culture and create lasting family memories. If you’re planning a trip with your family, I highly recommend including this charming town in your itinerary.
