MORE ABOUT COSTA DORADA
Costa Dorada Beaches
The beaches are the first and most popular places people head to when they arrive in the Costa Dorada area. Mile upon mile of golden sands, backed by pine trees and picturesque coves are simply magnetic. Add to that the numerous bars, restaurants and an energetic nightlife .You could have difficulty choosing from so many beautiful beaches. These are just a few of the top ones to choose from: Salou, La Ribera in Sitges, Cambrils, La Pineda and Mont-roig del Camp. Besides just sun worshipping there are a wide variety of water sports such as windsurfing, underwater fishing and water skiing to indulge in.
Discover PortAventura World
Located in the Tarragona province, the Aqua Leon Park is rather unique. It is a combination safari and water themed park. The animal section houses a wide range of animals including Farabella miniature horses, Emus, Raccoons, Meerkats, Wallabies, snakes, African elephants, lions, tigers, llamas, antelopes, zebras and more.
PortAventura World is actually three attractions in one - PortAventura itself, Ferarri Land and Caribe Aquatic Park. There are also a number of four and five star hotels on the site - so you can stay right in the thick of the action.
Visit The fountains
Don't miss the Salou's Font lluminosa, located at the promenade. At night the stunning fountains are transformed into an impressive choreographed display of colourful light, water and music.
At the opposite end of the promenade to Font Lluminosa are the Cybernetic Fountains. The fountains dance to music at selected show times in an amazing spectacle of light and sound.
Get Wet In The Wild
Aquapolis water park is a must-visit. From the adrenaline-fuelled Hurricane and Boomerang slides to the relaxing chill-out zone, this attraction has something for all the family to enjoy.
It has the added attraction of a Dolphinarium, where you can watch a dolphin and sea lion show and swim with them. There are plenty of water activities and entertainment for people of all ages.
