L'Ametlla de Mar
With tall pine trees, meandering streets, and no sign of high-rise buildings, this is a typical Catalan village where you can experience a very traditional way of life. Superb restaurants around the harbour serve seafood specialties straight from the boats, and many have tables spilling onto the street, providing an idyllic place to relax and watch the world go by. The shimmering sandy beach at L’Ametlla de Mar offers shallow waters, and the rocky perimeters are ideal for snorkelling. Many fiestas take place in this resort during the summer months, and there are many interesting and historical places to visit around the area. Our villas are located within Les Tres Calas; a quiet development of pretty whitewashed villas within a short drive of the resort centre, and with an easy connection to the motorway linking it to all of the attractions of the Costa Dorada.

Attraction Parks
Located in Salou, Port Aventura is a fantastic attraction park, recently voted the most popular in Spain. Due to its size, it is split into six sections each with their own theme. These include the Far West section where you can enjoy a white-knuckle whitewater raft along the Grand Canyon, and the Mediterranean section, where you can experience the fastest rollercoaster in Europe! As well as rides to get your adrenalin pumping, Port Aventura offers a waterpark, plenty of dining options and spectacular shows. There really is something for the whole family here – well worth a visit!
Regions to visit
Tarragona
Tarragona offers a fantastic and varied day out. You can spend hours strolling along its colourful streets, relax on the sandy beaches, or visit the historic Roman monuments declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Shoppers can also find all they need within walking distance in the different commercial areas, or simply by strolling along Rambla Nova, a bustling strip that runs from the busy Plaça Imperial Tàrraco, to the famous “Balcó del Mediterrani”. Along the length of Rambla Nova and on the adjacent streets there is a wide range of shops from antiques to high-end designers.
Barcelona
One of the most famous Spanish cities, Barcelona is well worth a visit when you are holidaying on the Costa Brava. Despite its size, it is easy to explore on foot, and there are many walking routes to ensure you experience all that there is to see. Without a doubt, one of Barcelona's top attractions is the modernist architecture, and the works of Antoni Gaudí. Just walking around you'll come across various examples of Gaudí's work throughout the city. The most famous are the Sagrada Família, impressive both outside and in; Park Güell, a space that emulates an English garden city; and La Pedrera. Barcelona is brimming with history, culture, architecture, superb cuisine, shopping and nightlife.
Architecture
The cities of Tarragona and Barcelona are close by and well worth a visit for those looking to explore historical and artistic architecture.
