Golf Holidays Spain - golf Holidays to costa dorada
Beneath Barcelona lies the southern coastal stretch of Catalonia: the Costa Dorada (Golden Coast). The region is quite different from its northern neighbour, the Costa Brava. The coastline is less rugged, with miles and miles of flat golden sandy beaches. Golfers living outside of Spain know very little about this emerging golf location, which has all the important ingredients: four excellent golf courses, great year-round weather, quality hotels and two historical major cities, Reus and Tarragona. Close by, fishing villages such as Salou, the lively tourist beach resort home to excellent restaurants in abundance. The Costa Dorada has a superb road infrastructure and lastly two international airports Reus and Barcelona.Tarragona, perched next to the coast, is renowned for its fascinating Roman ruins. Reus, a smaller city, is famous as the birth place of Gaudi and once was a major trading city in Europe. Vineyards can be seen practically everywhere, as this region is home to some of Spain’s best wines. West of Tarragona along the coastline is the popular town of Salou, a large tourist destination where nightlife, bars and holidaymakers can be found in abundance. Further down the coast is the smaller fishing village of Cambrills.
