Where the Tarragora region reaches the warm clear waters of the Mediterranean, you will find the long golden shores of the Costa Dorada. Running from Barcelona to Tarragora itself, this coast is home to unspoilt villages, clusters of villas, sophisticated towns and bustling resorts, all bathed in sunshine.
Tarragora is the region’s capital, and it is here that the Costa Dorada’s past is most prominent, with Roman ruins scattered throughout the Old Town and around the outskirts. Sat on a rocky hill, Tarragora rises above the sea and offers beautiful views. Cambrils and Salou, as well as the area between the two, has developed into one of the main tourist areas in Catalonia, with facilities and entertainment for all ages. Salou’s hotels and apartments run right down to the seaside, while in Cambrils you will see fishing nets, cafés and hotels all side by side. To the south of the Costa Dorada, the resorts peter out and give way to expanses of wetlands and lagoons, rich with birdlife and preserved in the Parc Natural del Delta de L’Ebre. Whether you want fun in the sun or a sense of Spanish history, the Costa Dorada covers it all.
Beaches on the Costa Dorada
The Costa Dorada or ‘Golden Coast’, earns its name from the 200 kilometres of golden beaches which line its shores. The warms waves of the Mediterranean roll onto narrow beaches of soft sand that attract families and sun seekers alike. Salou’s beaches sit inside a sweeping bay and from here to Cambrils, the soft sand and shallow waters create a safe and sunny playground. You’ll find palm fringed promenades and pavement cafés along most of the beaches, including the two at Vilanova. Bathers at La Pineda need to obey the flag systems on the beach, as there can be undercurrents here.
Holiday Shopping on the Costa Dorada
From the fashionable streets of Barcelona and the pricey and stylish Sitges, through to the weekly markets in Cambrils and Salou, there’s something for every type of shopping, whether you’re after simple souvenirs or bargain hunting.
Costa Dorada Nightlife
Salou and Cambrils are undoubtedly the liveliest resorts on the Costa Dorada once the sun has set, though throughout the coast, the evenings have a friendly and informal feel and low key family entertainment. Salou is busy after dark, with British pubs, bars and discos, while Sitges’ vigourous nightlife has been popular with Barcelonans for years. Dine in an authentic Spanish atmosphere on Cambrils’ harbour side and watch the fleets of fishermen returning from the sea. Stroll along the seafronts in the warm summer air or follow the sounds of Spanish guitar to where the passionate flamenco dancers are performing.
Local Specialities of the Costa Dorada
Every resort on the Costa Dorada has its fair share of cafés and restaurants, and the seafronts are full of opportunities for al fresco dining beside the promenades. In the larger resorts of Salou and Cambrils, as well as the stretch of coast in between, you’ll find everything from pizzerias to Chinese restaurants.
