| The Costa Daurada (English:
Golden Coast or Coast of Gold, Spanish: Costa dorada) is a 216 kilometers
long coastline located on the coast of Catalonia, Spain, in the comarques
of Baix Penedès, Tarragonès, Baix Camp and Baix Ebre. It
is an important tourism area. |

The origin of the Daurada (Golden)
epithet is the colour of the extensive beaches which are the main attraction
for tourists. The sand itself is a product of the erosion of the hinterland
due to deforestation in the middle ages and later. Infrequent flash floods
continue to provide fluvial material, some of which continues to nourish
the beaches aided by the Northeast to Southwest current which flows along
the coast. There is minimal tide in this part of the Mediterranean Sea,
so beaches are generally stable. Considerable effort is made to maintain
the cleanliness of these beaches, and to provide policing and infrastructure
for the users. |
Booking.com
| Many European "Blue
Flags" are awarded annually to the Costa Daurada beaches. Most of
the Costa Daurada towns have their own beaches which are enjoyed by locals
all year round, and by visitors in the season from May to October. The
town of Coma-Ruga has one of the most extensive
and under utilized beaches. The town of Salou claims to be the capital
of the Costa Daurada, having an infrastructure well developed to support
tourism. Its population varies from 15.000 in Winter to in excess of 250.000
in Summer.
Fishing, based mainly in the attractive
towns of Tarragona and Cambrils, continues to be
an important activity and both these places have excellent fish restaurants
where local and regional dishes can be tried.
Towards the Southwest the coast becomes
rockier, and the towns smaller, but they have unique charm and are worth
visiting and investigating individually - Amettla de Mar and l'Ampolla
being two of note. The southern limit of the Region is marked by The Delta
of the Ebro river another feature of the extensive erosion of the hinterland,
and a surprisingly young feature in geological terms being only some 600
years old over most of its area. It is a marvelous bird sanctuary and a
very active agricultural region. |
