Costa Daurada info


The Costa Daurada (Catalan) or Costa Dorada (Spanish), literally "golden coast", is a 216 kilometer long coastal region in the province of Tarragona of the Spanish autonomous region of Catalonia. The coastal region extends from Cunit in the north to L'Hospitalet de l'Infant in the south. The coast consists of beaches and rocks.

 

The Costa Daurada is known as a tourist attraction. The area includes several well-known seaside resorts, including Salou and Cambrils. Also on the Costa Daurada is the provincial capital of Tarragona, with the remains of the Roman city of Tarraco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Salou and Vila-seca is the PortAventura World resort.

 

North of the Costa Daurada is the Costa del Garraf, in the Catalan province of Barcelona. In the south, the Costa Daurada connects with the Costa del Azahar, in the province of Castellón of the autonomous community of Valenciana.

 

The region, located in the south of Catalonia, more specifically in the province of Tarragona, is known for its beautiful beaches. Its name is due to the golden color of the sand when the sun shines on it. Ready to explore them in depth? Here we go!
