What is the Costa Dorada?
The Costa Dorada ā or gold coast ā is one of Spainās best kept secrets. Known for its beautiful sandy beaches. Extending southwards, from Barcelona to the marshes of the Ebro Delta, this part of Catalunya attracts thousands of visitors each year. People come to enjoy the climate and pleasant lifestyle, the hospitality of the Catalan people as well as their history and traditions. They also come to benefit from the extensive sporting facilities in the ports and marinas, leisure centres and golf courses.
All along its coastline, well-developed, sophisticated resorts alternate with little villages and ports, where the traditional life of fishermen continues almost unchanged. Miami Playa, Sitges, Calafell, Salou and Cambrils are popular holiday destinations. They are famous for their well-kept beaches and lively nightlife. On the other hand localities like Torredembarra, Altafulla and LāAmpolla offer the attraction of a calmer, more peaceful lifestyle.
Only a short drive inland will take you to medieval monasteries nestling amongst vineyards and groves or perched on solitary hilltops.
