Suitable for all levels, with distances of 3,6km, 5,9km and 7,4 km, the Costa Daurada crossing goes from one end till the other of the beautiful Long Beach between Torredembarra and Roda de Barà. We'll swim along the protected natural area called the Muntanyans. So: swim addiction in the South of Catalonia too!

When you register you must choose the distance you want to swim, but you must also choose if you prefer to participate in the environment friendly version. If you choose the normal version, a Neda el Món bus will transfer you to the departure point. If you choose the environment friendly way, you will ride your own mountain bike. Neda el Món will take the bikes to the arrival point after the event. The environment friendly way is 5€ cheaper!! Let's protect the environment and make this Catalonia’s most nature-restpectful crossing.
