The name Costa Dorada means ‘golden coast’, which is highly appropriate for this beautiful stretch of sunshine and sand that lies between Barcelona and the Costa Brava.
Miles and miles of sandy beaches welcome visitors who choose to take their family holiday on the Costa Dorada, with the resort of Salou being the most bustling in high season, but with plenty to offer, not least thanks to its close proximity to PortAventura theme park, packed with rides, attractions and an aquatic centre.
The area also boasts smaller, more relaxed resorts centred around the fishing villages of l’Amella de Mar and Les Cases d’Alcanar.
The main town of Tarragona features unspoilt and uncrowded beaches, with La Mora boasting a blue flag.
