COPA NADAL
The Copa Nadal, historically organized by the Club Natació Barcelona, is the oldest swimming event in Spain and one of the most iconic in Europe. Its first edition was held in 1908, and since then, every 25th of December, the Port of Barcelona becomes the stage for a unique tradition that brings together hundreds of brave swimmers ready to cover around 200 meters in open water in front of the Moll de la Fusta.
With more than a century of history, the Copa Nadal is much more than a sporting event: it is a symbol of tradition, perseverance, and Barcelona’s spirit, keeping alive the CNB’s bond with the city and with the history of Catalan swimming.
Today, the CNB continues to promote this event as a celebration open to everyone —of all ages and levels— combining sport, solidarity, and the true spirit of Christmas.
