In-depth Named sources Outcome reported
  • La Pava, a historic pizzeria in Gavà that opened more than six decades ago, appears to have closed permanently.
  • The establishment displays closure signs, its phone goes unanswered and its social media accounts are inactive, but no official explanation has been issued.
  • The restaurant was a landmark in Baix Llobregat, part of a leisure complex whose other businesses, including clubs and campsites, have gradually disappeared.

“Permanently closed.” That is what the signs now say outside La Pava, the historic pizzeria on the Castelldefels highway in Gavà.

The establishment opened more than six decades ago and served pizzas, coffee and takeaway food. It became known across Baix Llobregat for its pizzas and roast chickens, and stood as one of the last surviving pieces of a much larger leisure complex in Barcelona’s metropolitan area.

Employees reportedly told the local portal Noticias de Castelldefels that the owners gathered the staff to announce the closure. There has been no official statement, however. The restaurant’s phone goes unanswered, and its social media profiles are no longer active. The reasons for the closure remain unknown.

The news has surprised regular customers and nearby businesses. La Pava was part of a complex near the beach and airport, with good links to Barcelona. Several nightclubs once operated there, along with campsites and other services. The clubs gradually closed, as did most of the campsites, although two still remain.
