The Costa Dorada incorporates 130 miles of glorious South Catalonian Mediterranean coast. Stretching from the city of Barcelona in the north to the town of L’Ametila de Mar in the south it features the lively and hugely popular resort of Salou. Cheap holidays to Salou and the Costa Dorada destinations a little less raucous are readily available for most of the year, although this region is a firm summer favourite.
Translated from spanish, Costa Dorada means ‘coast of gold’ and it is the gorgeous golden sands of the region that appeal to holidaymakers. The superb Mediterranean climate and impressive resorts packed with things to do also help! But there’s much more to be had from holidays to Salou and Costa Dorada than just staying on the coastal region. Using Salou as a base the inner Costa Dorada is easy to reach and offers some truly amazing sights. Medieval monasteries and historic towns such as Reus, Montblanc and Tortosa combined with stunning mountainous scenery give plenty of reasons to venture inland.
