Costa Daurada, a mosaic of experiences for traveling with children

Family experiences that combine sea, mountains and learning in the Costa Daurada

Traveling with family along the Costa Daurada means immersing yourself in a territory that unites serene beaches, coastal towns prepared to welcome little ones and activities that combine learning and fun. Towns such as Salou, Cambrils and Vila-seca, together with La Pineda Playa, hold the certification of Family Tourism Destination and host a wide range of accommodation options, with more than 100 hotels, camp sites and apartments located just minutes from PortAventura World and other leisure venues. The fine, golden sandy beaches, one of the coastline’s main attractions, invite you to devote time to play, rest and water activities. Along the coast, there is windsurfing, paddle surfing, kayaking and jet skiing, while the bike lane connecting several different towns provides easy, safe routes. The Camino de Ronda and Parc Samà complete a range of itineraries that promote outdoor activity. For those seeking to connect with nature and experience unique adventures, the Conca de Barberà offers days ranging from learning about the world of bees dressed as beekeepers at Riudabella Castle, to exploring the Glass Museum of Vimbodí and Poblet, or investigating the Poblet Natural Area with routes suitable for every audience. The Espluga de Francolí adds geocaching options that turn exploration into an ongoing game. The combination of sea and mountains is especially visible between L’Hospitalet de l’Infant and Mont-roig del Camp. A kayak trip to the Lobo Marino Cave or a snorkeling session allows you to take in the marine biodiversity, while Mas Miró offers an interactive activity that brings children closer to the creative universe of Joan Miró through a tour of the house and a final artistic construction option.

The area also invites you to discover inland landscapes such as El Priorat, where visitors can find everything from cave paintings in the Capçanes valleys to outdoor sports at the Guiamets reservoir, as well as Falset Castle and stargazing at the Torre de Fontaubella. In the Baix Penedès, there is snorkeling in the waters of Coma-ruga in the Masía Blanca marine reserve, and El Vendrell is the perfect complement to the visit, with historical routes and one of the most outstanding karting circuits on the continent. The Catalan Costa Daurada presents itself as a mosaic of options that transform each day into a complete, diverse and memorable family experience.
