Costa Dorada Holidays - Travel Guide

There are 150 miles of superb beaches to enjoy on Costa Dorada holidays, which has helped to establish this region of Spain as an ideal Family holiday location. The resort of Sitges was previously the home of many wealthy Spaniards who in the 19th century built their mansions in Sitges, many of which are now maintained as hotels.

Sitges is a well-established Costa Dorada holiday resort with good accommodation and facilities. There are a number of excellent golden beaches at Sitges and it has managed to maintain much of its old charm, avoiding the over development of high-rise buildings.

Salou has long been a popular destination for family Holidays in Costa Dorada, with fine sandy beaches, many of which are set in quiet coves sheltered by pine trees. Along with neighbouring Costa Dorada holiday resorts such as La Pineda and Cambrils, Salou is geared toward Family fun, with a range of entertainment to suit the whole family.

Water parks, a karting track and a number of water sports ensure that no one has time to get bored and the waterfront promenade is a great place to take a relaxing stroll among the landscaped gardens. Costa Dorada holidays come to life each evening when the restaurants, bars and nightclubs in the resorts get the holiday spirit in full flow.

Miles of beaches on the Costa Dorada with their soft golden sand are clean and safe for swimming. For a taste of local culture on Costa Dorada Holidays visit Tarragona, a town that has grown at an incredible rate in recent years but retains vestiges of its past as a Roman settlement from 218 BC. Along with the Roman ruins an imposing cathedral sits on a hilltop and some fine medieval architecture can be seen right throughout the city.

Daytime distractions on Costa Dorada Holidays could include shopping in the stylish boutiques of Sitges and enjoying the party atmosphere in the evening. Children will love the spectacular Port Aventura Adventure Park that features 5 distinct sections called Mediterrania, China, Mexico, Polynesia and the Far West. Here you will find dozens of rides and live shows and plenty of restaurants and shops.
