The Costa Daurada coastline,
situated on the Mediterranean coastline in the south of Catalonia, is one
of the most popular destinations in Spain for family holidays. The spectacular
coastline stretches for 216km, with 786 hectares of extensive, clean, sandy
beaches that sweep down to meet a clean, clear, shallow sea, safe for young
children and elderly swimmers alike.
| Visitors to the area can
also enjoy the expanse of flat plains that sit in between the coastline
and mountains inland; these play home to tranquil villages, vineyards,
olive groves, and other locally grown crops such as hazelnut, almonds and
carob.
However, it is Costa Daurada's
beaches which provide the main draw. Torredembarra, a beach of almost 3000m
in length, blessed with fine, golden sand and a calm sea is admired for
its unspoiled setting and lush vegetation with small dunes that reach right
up to the beach.
Salou, a blue flag beach,
is one of the best known on the Costa Daurada. Visitors are well catered
for, with plenty of facilities such as showers, sun loungers, large car
parks, shops, cafes, restaurants, all dotted with palm tree plantations. |

The smaller and slightly
more secluded beach of L'Ampolla is just 300 meters long and offers a more
peaceful retreat, whilst still offering visitors all the services and facilities
needed such as a life guard service, hire of pedal boats, and open air
bars and cafes.
Families who wish to explore
the local history and culture will find a visit to the town of Tarragona
a very worthwhile trip. Here can be found, the 12th century monastery of
Poblet, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the Circo Romano (Roman
Circus) which was built during the end of 1AD and was used for events such
as chariot races until its demise in the 5th century.

Families will find plenty
of fun in the waterpark Aquopolis - which offers a full range of aquatic
attractions such as flumes, slides, river rapids, a wave pool, a hydrotherapy
pool and an area for small children.
There is also a family fun
games area with mini-golf, bumper boats and a sea park zone with dolphins
and sea lions.
For the more adventurous
family outing, outdoor activities are in abundance with gorge scrambling,
mountain biking, caving, hiking, canoeing excursions, bungee jumping, archery,
fishing, hang gliding, paintballing, quad-biking and boating all on offer
in the area. |
There is plenty of family
friendly accommodation in Costa Daurada ranging from campsites, to self-catering
apartments, to fully catered five star hotels, so visitors will have no
trouble arranging a place to stay which is within their budget.
With plenty to keep the kids
happy, yet something for mum and dad too, it's little wonder that the Costa
Daurada remains such a popular family destination with holidaying Brits.
