Costa Dorado
Costa Dorado (or directly translated from Spanish – the Golden Coast) is a part of the coastline in Catalonia in Spain. Visitors to the area often remark at how apt the name of this stretch of coast is as soon as they set foot onto the beaches which are covered in deep, white gold sands. In fact, the beaches are renowned for their cleanliness and a few of them hold the Blue Flag award for being immaculately kept and clean. Costa Dorado is a large area, with around twenty towns from one end to the other so you’ll need a long time to explore them all. As with many coastal regions in Spain, you can expect warm, sunny weather during the summer months that run from May to October but bear in mind this is the tourist season and some of the bigger towns like Salou do tend to become crowded with visitors in excess of 200 thousand people flocking to them.
Salou is the biggest city located along Costa Dorado with a native population of around 28,000 people contained within its 15 square kilometer limits. It is by far the most visited resort town in the region specifically for the beaches which offer a whole range of water activities like surfing, diving, power boating, fishing and water skiing. But the day time is only half the fun because if you’re into good food and fine wine, the restaurants in the area are superb, as is the House of Illusion, a show featuring live magician and illusionists from around the country, very popular with visitors to Salou. If you want to get out and let your hair down, you’ll find the many pubs and clubs in Salou catering to your needs. For the younger visitors or even the child at heart, the Port Aventura theme park has some thrilling roller coasters and many other attractions set amongst an incredible themed park area.
Costa Dorado is not only fun for the whole family; it will leave you wanting more.
