Golden beaches, history and culture, pure nature and a host of destinations for you to make the most of your holiday mean the fun never ends.

Book one of our cheap trips to Costa Daurada and explore the unique golden sands that give this area its name, meaning the Golden Coast.

Spanning over 60 miles, stretching from the north of the province of Tarragona to the Ebro Delta in the south, this area has a lot to offer.

Take a look at our trips to Costa Daurada. The main attraction are its beaches and coves, which stretch along the coast, and which include Platja de la Roca Plana beach, Cala Forna cove, and Platja de Santes Creus beach. This last beach is completely secluded and wild, with no catering or other services, and if you’re lucky, you might even be able to enjoy a unique experience and swim with some bluefin tuna.

If you’re interested in seeing a bit of culture during your package holiday to Costa Daurada, you have the best example of a Roman town nearby. Tarragona can boast the honour of having been the capital city of the Roman province of Hispania Citerior, and has been declared a World Heritage Site of UNESCO. The Tarraco Amphitheatre, the Roman Circus of Tarraco and the old quarter, which was surrounded by Roman walls, are perfect examples of the type of architecture to be found along this coast.

If you’re looking to spend a day of fun with the whole family, you definitely won’t want to miss the most visited theme park in Spain, PortAventura, which is divided into six thematic areas that will delight children and adults alike. It offers attractions such as Dragon Khan, which holds two world records.

Whether you come for the beaches, the history or the many other possibilities it offers, one thing is clear: the Costa Daurada is one destination that’s not to be missed.
