This timeless part of the Catalan coast situated between Alcanar and Cunit, is mainly flat with shallow waters and long beaches of golden sand from which it takes its name and its climate is very pleasant through winter and summer, with vivid blue skies and clear due to prevailing breezes.
Coastal towns and villages attract many tourists seeking the cultural and historic offerings as well as the sea-based cuisine and expansive sunny beaches. Inland there are historic towns like Tortosa, Rheus and Valls to explore and countryside little changed over the centuries. For outstanding scenery do not miss the Ports de Tortosa or mountain ranges like Llaberia, Prades and Montsant.
Capital city Tarragona offers breathtaking panoramic views of a magical combination of land and sea that’s been around since 218 BC when the Roman founded what is now a World Heritage site, including a chariot racing circus, said to be best preserved in the world.
Salou, the resort at the heart of the Costa Daurada, offers every kind of beach fronting its never ending promenade and Passeig de les Palmeras, dedicated to the medieval Catalan king who embarked to conquer Mallorca, but modelled on the Promenade des Anglais at Nice, France. Cambrils is a harbour town famous for its gourmet seafood restaurants serving Rio Ebro eels and elvers, sea bream and regional rice dishes.
The Ebro Delta is a rice growing area with many waterways and havens for boats, splendid dunes and the nesting grounds of 300 species of birdlife in a National Park. The river offers boat hire, day boat trips and floating restaurants.
Tortosa is the ancient riverside capital of the region, hailed by Julius Caesar and most subsequent visitors including the Moors who left a hilltop castle as today's striking monument and Pope Benedict XIII who loved the local patisseries.
Property on offer in the region includes beachside apartments from regional and local builders and inland there are £1M-plus converted farmhouses on offer. Golf fans can find apartments from €220,000 and 4-bed fairway villas around €600,000 and the Catalan style and quality shows through. In Salou, the residential market’s capital, there are beachside condominiums with 2-bed apts from €200,000 and 3-bed apts from €280,000.
At the entrance to the Rio Embro is a new urbanisation of houses and apartments offering sports and leisure facilities and the prospect of rental schemes with guaranteed revenue stream. There are many amenities and golden beaches nearby. Prices start from €156,500.
