Beginning= El Vendrell

Length= 132

C-32 is a primary highway in Catalonia, Spain. It was created in 2004 by merging three sections of existing "autopistas" and "autovías". This re-organisation was part of a renaming of primary highways managed by the Generalitat de Catalunya. According to this new denomination, the first number (C-32) indicates that is a southwest-northeast highway (parallel to the Mediterranean Sea coastline), while the second number (C-32) indicates that is the second closest to the Mediterranean Sea.

The Barcelona-Mataró's section of the former A-19 (now renamed to C-31 and C-32) was the first "autopista" ever in Spain (1969).

outhern section (El Vendrell-Sant Boi de Llobregat)

The C-32's southern section, also known as Autopista de Pau Casals (officially) or "Túnels del Garraf" (non-officially), was previously named A-16 .

It connects several relevant towns such as Vilanova i la Geltrú, Sitges and Castelldefels, as well as it passes close to the Barcelona International Airport.

Middle section (Sant Boi de Llobregat-Montgat)

The middle section should correspond to the actual "autovía" B-20, also known as Ronda de Dalt, which is a part of the Barcelona's "Rondes" (ring road). This section has not been renamed yet because it is managed by the spanish government.

Northern section (Montgat-Palafolls)

The northern section is a part of the former "autopista" A-19 is a controversial issue which is still in the middle of a discussion process.
