What's the parking situation at Centre Platja?

Street parking along Passeig Marítim is tight in summer, so the metro is the easier bet. Ciutadella Vila Olímpica (L4) is about a six minute walk, and the 36, 45, 59 and V21 buses all stop on the seafront.

Should we bring anything, or is it all set up when we get there?

The workshop provides the materials. Pack sun cream, water and swim gear if you fancy it, since you are right on Somorrostro beach and can stay for a dip afterwards.

What you need to know

Shade is sorted: the center sits under the Passeig Marítim arches at Somorrostro beach and is a designated climate refuge
August works differently: the center skips its usual drop-in hours this month and opens only for booked sessions like this one
More in the series: the same team runs other free beach-science sessions all summer; the program PDF below has the full list
