Costa Dorada holdays offer a mix of beautiful beach resorts, small picturesque villages and coastal towns full of character such as Cambrils and the Salou. Known as the Gold Coast, it’s needless to say the Costa Dorada is loved for its stunning beaches. The 150 mile stretch of golden sands is home to bustling promenades and chic marinas filled with British holidaymakers. The fantastic climate of the region ensures holidays to the Costa Dorada are popular all year round. The main hotspot here is the ever popular resort of Salou - it’s a firm favourite for family holidays, with safe sandy beaches and plenty on offer to keep the kids amused. Right next door is the resort of Cap Salou, a lot more serene, Cap Salou hosts a more relaxed alternative with intimate coves and beautiful surroundings. Be warned however, Cap Salou is renowned for being extremely hilly therefore not best suited for those with walking difficulties. Holidays in Salou can also be very reasonable, and travel.co.uk has plenty on offer just a few clicks away.

Costa Dorada holidays' flights are everywhere and are fairly inexpensive. The airport is named Reus Airport and sits just 3km outside the Spanish city of Reus. It is possible to fly from 14 airports across the UK and with low cost carriers such as Ryanair operating routes to the region, cheap flights to the Costa Dorada are plentiful. Once arriving into the airport, there are three different Reus Airport buses, the first runs regularly to La Pineda, Salou and Cambrils. The second bus runs into Reus City Centre and the third runs from Reus airport to Barcelona. All three buses await just outside the terminal along with many private taxis. Getting from A to B whilst you’re on your holidays in the Costa Dorada is relatively cheap via taxi and local buses, obviously depending on where it is you’re going and how far away.
Costa Dorada holidays would not be complete without a visit to the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, oozing with sophistication and charm, Barcelona is truly a stunning place. Home to the famous Barcelona football team, football fanatics can take a tour around the ground and maybe catch a game if they are lucky. If football is not your game, perhaps shopping is, in which case you could take advantage of Barcelona’s 35,000 shops with big name designer outlets such as Versace, Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein. You can reach Barcelona by public transport from all resorts in the Costa Dorada and it only takes an hour or so, so it is ideal for short breaks.
Costa Dorada holidays offer fantastic value for money on their food and drinks and most restaurants and bars serve just about every cuisine you can imagine, from Mexican to Chinese. The more traditional restaurants serve delicious Spanish specialities such as the famous tapas that are well worth trying. The Costa Dorada is a typical holiday destination and prides itself on ensuring its foreign visitors receive warm hospitality and a variety of choice. Therefore along with Spanish restaurants there’s an array of fast food outlets such as McDonalds and typical ‘English’ food can be found in almost every area, so even the pickiest of eaters are catered for.
