WORTH A VISIT

The Best Places to Visit in Costa Dorada

UNESCO protected monastery

Poblet Monastery is a stunning Cistercian monastery nestled in the mountains inland from the Costa Daurada.
The monastery, which dates back to the 12th century, still houses a monk community.
The monastery is open for guided tours throughout the day, and the stunning Gothic-style cloisters, monks' quarters, royal tombs, and intricate architecture in the church make for an enthralling visit.
You can even decide to stay! These three ancient monasteries, along with Santes Creus and Vallbona de Les Monges, form the well-known Cistercian route.

The Roman legacy in Tarragona

Tarragona's UNESCO-listed Roman amphitheatre, built around the second century, was used for two things: animal fighting and gladiator battles.
It could hold up to 15,000 spectators, and this massive structure has been exceptionally well preserved throughout history.
Head up the hill to the Balco del Mediterrani, or 'Mediterranean Balcony,' for the best views of the theatre and views of Tarragona's beach, harbour, and city buildings.
The article's banner image depicts Tarragona's theatre in all its glory.
Other incredible Roman sites in Tarragona include the circus (once used for chariot races), the provincial forum, praetorium, and the aqueduct.
All of this ancient history at your fingertips is truly awe-inspiring.

Salou

Salou is famous for its vibrant nightlife and stunning beaches. Playa Llevant and Playa Ponent are two of the best beaches in the area.
Swaying palms, fine sand, action-packed water adventures, and long hours of sun relaxation are all available at each location.
The Avenida Jaume, which runs parallel to the beach at Llevant, is lined with souvenir shops, clothing boutiques, and craft stores.
Around Avinguda de Carles Buigas, there are many cafes and restaurants, and Salou is full of vibrant bars and trendy nightclubs.
Local and karaoke bars, live entertainment, theme pubs, and clubs playing R&B, house, pop, and dance music.

La Pineda

The Spanish flock to La Pineda for its blue flag beaches and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a more tranquil resort than Salou.
La Pineda's calm waters and gently sloping sands make it a beach lover's paradise, with pedalos, jet skis, and windsurfing equipment available for rent.
Visit the fun Aquapolis seafront water park, which features slides, rides, pools, and dolphin and sea lion shows for even more adventure.

Cambrils is a picturesque fishing village with old town charm, markets, nightlife, and traditional Mediterranean restaurants.
Cambria has nine Blue Flag beaches with umbrellas, sun loungers, and beach bars along its 7-kilometre coastline.
Although less crowded than other beaches along the Costa Dorada, La Pineda Beach is Cambrils' longest and liveliest.
El Raco beach is another lovely beach with pine trees providing shade, while Els Prats beach is ideal for sunbathing.
In Cambrils' tropical breezes, visitors can learn to kitesurf, windsurf, and sail. It takes only 80 minutes to drive to Barcelona for a day trip.

FOOD FUN FASHION

Costa Dorada : Food, Fun & Fashion Guide

Arrossejat

#FOOD

We couldn't think of anything else to serve because we were so close to the Ebre Delta.
Rice is, after all, one of Costa Dorada's signature dishes.
Rice is prepared in various ways in this area, but they are all delicious, so we won't blame you if you can't decide at the restaurant or if you want to try them all!
The so-called arrossejat is one of the most common elaborations.
In towns like L'Ametlla de Mar, Calafell, and Sant Carles de la Ràpita, it's very common. It's a fisherman's dish traditionally prepared to seize unsold fish.

Calçots

#FOOD

Calçots are a sweet and tender type of spring onion.
They are traditionally cooked over an open fire, burning the outer layer but leaving the interior tender and flavorful.
They're served with romesco or salvitxada sauce. They're usually served wrapped in newspaper or on a tile to keep the heat in.
Calçots are eaten in a ritualistic manner. Remove the burnt layer with your hands before dipping it in the sauce.
Because it's nearly impossible to avoid getting a stain on yourself, the napkin is frequently used as a bib. Calçots are a seasonal product, so keep that in mind.

Reus

#FASHION

It has over 600 establishments concentrated in the city centre's streets and a lovely pedestrianized area with prestigious brand shops and excellent service.
We can also find various services in the centre itself, such as restaurants, bars, and terraces, where you can relax and enjoy an inviting atmosphere while shopping.
There are more than 3.500 parking spaces in various areas and zones to make your visit even better and ensure accessibility to the city centre.
The tax-free refund centre is located in the tourist office of Reus, on the lower floor of the Gaud Centre, and serves clients who are non-EU residents.
The two municipal markets in Reus are also worth mentioning, where visitors can find a wide variety of high-quality local produce and a warm welcome and excellent service.
And there's LA FIRA, a shopping mall with over 60 stores and a diverse selection of fashion, accessories, leisure food, and restaurants.
