Cambrils - The pearl of Costa Dorada

A perfect Costa Dorada holiday is not the same without visiting Cambrils.

Cambrils is a town directly located at the Costa Dorada, Spain. It lies in the Catalonia region of Spain.
Deciding to book a Costa Dorada hotel in Cambrils means experiencing a wonderful holiday time in one of the most popular locations along the coast.


800px-Cambrils1.jpgCambrils is a city with Roman origin and because of this there are still some signs showing the heritage, such as the architecture. But the city is still growing today, mainly due to the increasing tourism.

Family holiday is also a good reason to book accommodation in Cambrils, because it is not very far away from PortAventura Salou, so you can book the tickets for that in advance. If you think Salou is too active, Cambrils offers you a calm and relaxing location where you can replenish your health and soak up the sun!


The port of Cambrils is interesting to visit; if you like seeing boats and yachts you should absolutely see them at night or in the evening when it's dark. The harbor is illuminated and this makes an absolutely impressing sight!


800px-Cambrils008.jpgFurthermore you have to visit one of the two parks in Cambrils, or if you can both. They are the Parc del Pescador (Fisher's park) and the Parc del Pinaret. Both parks are really huge and act as an oasis to enjoy your visit, to take a break from everything and to take a walk along the beautiful structure of the park. In the Parc del Pescador, Cambrils, there are many different types of plants and trees and a wonderful pond where you can stay.

Sometimes there are also musical events and festivals you shouldn't miss. The park del Pinaret is also stunning, it has also a lot of different trees and plants and many places where you can just sit down and relax.


For vacationers who are interested in Cambrils history, there is an archaeological site with ruins of an ancient Roman villa. Propably around 2000 years old, this ruin is like a portal that connects the past with today. Don't miss this! History-interested people should also visit the museums in Cambrils. There is the Museu Molí de les Tres Eres and the Museu Agrícola de Cambrils, which are both part of the Museu d'Història de Cambrils.


If you have a Cambrils holiday rental that is close to the sanctuary of the Virgin Mary (Ermita de la Mare), you should also see that. Next to the hermitage there is a tower which is a Cultural Asset of National Interest. Another tower in Cambril that you should visit during you Cambrils holiday is the watch tower Torre del Port. It was originally build to watch out for pirates (which was a large risk for towns around the coast). It is the characteristic of Cambrils.


You see, you have a lot of possibilities in Cambrils, for families as well as for couples or friends. Families who want to avoid the fuller location of Salou can book Costa Dorada hotels in Cambrils and the tickets Port Aventura, which is close.

 

800px-Cambrils_platja.jpgCouples can also book a Cambrils hotel and enjoy their time together in the many romantic spots Cambrils offers. And friends can of course also have a good time at the Cambrils beach and bars and clubs along the city at night.
