Holidays on the Costa Dorada

Travel Guides > Spain > Costa Dorada > Costa Dorada Holidays

The hue of the fine sand on the wide, wonderful beaches of Spain’s Costa Dorada (Golden Coast) has given this popular holiday region its name. The 20 or so towns and villages along this 120-mile (200km) stretch of Mediterranean coastline, south of Barcelona, have become built up with hundreds of hotels, camp sites and apartment blocks, catering mainly for family holidays. Entertainment consists largely of enjoying the shallow, transparent, gentle sea, ideal for the ‘bucket and spade’ brigade, and the large, thrilling theme and waterparks at the local resorts.

When to go

The Costa Dorada has mild winter months and very hot summers. The Costa Dorada is therefore best visited between May & October but also makes an ideal place to visit any time of the year.  Costa Dorada's Weather & Climate
