Location & Accessibility

Enjoy the tranquility of a coastal village with straightforward access to Barcelona. The location is highly walkable locally, with the beach, village amenities, and train station all within easy reach, providing the best of both worlds.

Public Transport

Excellent train connection to Barcelona. The R1 train line runs frequently, with the journey to Barcelona city center taking approximately 45-55 minutes. The nearest train station in Caldes d'Estrac is within walking distance.

Car Considerations

A car is not necessary for daily life or accessing Barcelona. For those who have one, information on parking availability should be confirmed directly with the coliving space.

Walkability

The coliving space and village are highly walkable. The beach is literally seconds away, and local shops, cafes, and the train station are all within a short walking distance. Taxis and ride-sharing services are available for specific needs.

Key Distances

Beach: Directly across the street (7 seconds walk). Barcelona city center: 45-55 minutes by train. Local groceries and amenities: Within a few minutes' walk.

Challenges & Tips

The primary consideration is the reliance on the train schedule for city trips. Planning ahead for later evening returns from Barcelona is advisable. The village itself is quiet, which is a pro for tranquility but a con for those seeking a bustling nightlife on their doorstep.
