The Costa Dorada is Spain's "Gold Coast" and runs along the east from Barcelona to Tarragona, covering 150 miles of sandy Mediterranean coastline. It boasts of the dual attraction of seemingly endless miles of golden sandy beaches and the Port Aventura theme park, a Disney-style entertainment centre which is the main magnet for many international holidaymakers.
This stretch of the coastline has long been popular with Spanish tourists, anxious to escape the stifling summer heat of Madrid and the traffic chaos and congestion of Barcelona. But it only developed as a major international tourist destination after the opening of Port Aventura in 1995.
Home to the popular holiday resorts of Salou, Cambrils, La Pinada, Coma Ruga and Sitges, the area certainly has something for everyone. The child-friendly, clear, shallow waters around the beaches of Salou and Cambrils make these resorts ideal locations for family holidays.
