<br/><br/> The coastal strip of the metropolitan area of Barcelona is 42 km long including the municipalities of Montgat, Badalona, Sant Adriā de Besōs, Barcelona, El Prat de Llobregat, Viladecans, Gavā and Castelldefels. It is the seafront of a densely populated area, with over three million people in 636 km2, which is subject to great pressure due to its logistics, urban and tourism values. The beaches extend for 30 km along this stretch of coastline. Altogether, the beach and dunes cover an area of over 2,000,000 m2.<br/><br/><br/>
