The Coast

Salou is without any doubt one of the best known places in the whole Costa Dorada, it is also known as "Beach of Europe".

Salou has won that title because all the quality test that have passed during the years mostly on the quality of its sand and its sea water.

Salou is a totally modern resort, chock-a-block with high-rise hotels, bars and entertainment facilities all geared to satisfy the every whim of the international visitor. There are a huge number of pubs, clubs and discos along with a wide range of water sports and other leisure activities including golf, paragliding, hiking, cycling and horse riding. Nightlife in Salou is one of the liveliest of all the Spanish coastal resorts. Whether you want traditional flamenco, a Mexican meal, karaoke or all-night discos you'll find it all here.

Cambrils is a world apart from frantic Salou. Parts of the town are still very Spanish in character with narrow, cobbled streets, ancient buildings and typical tapas bars. The resort retains all the charm of a small fishing village and boasts some world-class seafood restaurants. Sit by the quayside with a pre-dinner drink in the early evening and you'll be able to watch the day's catch being landed.

Cambrils is the perfect place for those of you who want to spend some quite days relaxing on the beach; this town has 9 km of sandy beaches for all you sea lovers!!

One can now walk from Cambrils in this almost perfect sea side walking path of few kilometres long which now connect until "Salou´s fuente luminosa", and never loose sight of the sea.

A wonderful place for people who enjoy walking

Mont-roig del Camp. 10 Km from Cambrils, is an agricultural town in which the famous Catalonia's painter "Joan Miró" spent many of his childhood years.

The church of St. Miguel is of gothic style, the construction works began in 1574.

Mont-roig is very close to places like "Riudecanyes" (with the Riudecanyes swamp), and the fantastic "monastery of Escornalbou", another fantastic route you may want to do.

Another fantastic village well worth a visit is on the other side of the county, on the Mediterranean side and it's called " L'Ametlla de Mar", nowadays it is still a fisherman's village that has grown enormously in the last few years thanks to the huge tourist growth.

Close to L'Ametlla de Mar, we can find L'Hospitalet de l'Infant. In 1346, L'Hospitalet de l'Infant was born thanks to Peter IV, and his mother Blanca d'Anjou who founded the old hospital which bore the name.

To the south of Hospitalet de l´infant is the Naturist Beach of TORN. This beach is a paradise for the European families who are looking for peace and quiet, contact with nature and who want a high degree of comfort without being bothered in any way.
