VENDRELL, EL

El Vendrell, in the north of Costa Daurada, is a town that is alive; where music, literature and cuisine have their own strong character. Want to find out more?

El Vendrell has both coastline and mountains, a unique binomial that will allow the whole family to live stunning experiences. Over the first few months of the year, just after the harvest is over, various restaurants in El Vendrell offer the so-called “Ruta del Xató”, a gastronomic event where a sauce made using almonds, hazelnuts, onions, “nyora”, red and green peppers, garlic and tomatoes macerated with extra virgin olive oil, covers escarole ─ a winter produce ─, cod and many other meals, such as meats or grilled fish. Finger-licking good!

And what goes really well with food? Great wines, of course! Did you know wines made in Baix Penedès are produced within DO Penedès? These are fresh, easy wines that carry the Mediterranean vibes in every sip. Check them out by visiting the wineries that surround the city centre.

Costa Daurada is a unique territory: the place where the Mediterranean caresses an exceptional piece of land. What about visiting the comarca of Alt Camp, where cuisine and culture have their own DNA? In fact, people from Valls are said to stare at the sky three times: one to observe the belltower; one to get excited with “castells”, and one to enjoy “calçotada”. Check out the following tips.

Costa Daurada is a territory with some incredible landscapes, full of contrasts and perfect beauty. Reddish rocks inland stand on their feet to admire the sea, while becoming the best viewpoints for some incredible sunrises and sunsets. Fields are turned into colourful carpets, architectures that witness the passing of ancient civilizations or the footprint of a unique style of the territory, Modernism, or simply natural areas of great harmony that reconcile us with the Earth.

Spring, summer… As days get longer, Costa Daurada provides us with unique scenes, both inland and near the coastline. Coastal paths, for example, enter a new dimension, embellished by the blooming of local vegetation, fields full of poppies and vines sprouting. Spring and the first days of the summer do also imply the beginning of a new “castells” season that will last until early November, on an in-crescendo you’ll absolutely adore.

From north to south and from south to north; costal paths in Costa Daurada, the pathways that follow the coastline, can be discovered both directions. Our recommendation, though, would be to start at L’Hospitalet de l’Infant and follow the Ruta dels Naturistes (the Route of Naturists). In Salou, the coastal path will allow you to almost Feel the sea with the tip of your fingers, while from Tarragona to Tamarit, you can enjoy the Ruta dels enigmes (Route of enigma), a path you can follow all the way to Altafulla and Torredembarra where you’ll find A paradise of coves, before you enter Roda de Berà on A triumphal ride.

Did you know that in both Costa Daurada and Terres de l’Ebre there’s proof of over 600 Modernism examples that belong to near 100 municipalities? These 2 numbers speak for themselves about the importance of this cultural, artistic and political movement that stirred up the entire country and has left a historical legacy one can now follow, visit and admire. 

If we’re referring to villages and cities, Reus ─which was the second city in Catalonia in the late 19th century─ is the undisputed capital of Modernism in Costa Daurada. The capital of Baix Camp has around 30 catalogued buildings of great beauty, with Casa Navàs and Institut Pere Mata as main examples. In this post you can find the greatest examples of the Modernism tour in Reus, which you can end in the Gaudí Centre

TARRAGONA

A circus that once held epic quadriga races, the famous chariots pulled by four horses; an amphitheatre where gladiators would fight to the death under a blazing sun; a theatre that would dramatise and mock life in the empire; forums, both provincial and local, which were the administrative heart and the commercial soul of the city... What would it be like to actually live in the ancient Tarraco? Want to join us on an exciting journey back in time?
