Sardana Festival San Marti Costa Dorada

Planning your Costa Dorada holiday in November proves to be a good idea, because on 7th November in Salou, the Sardana Festival of San Marti is held! Salou is located in Tarragona at the Costa Dorada.

As you probably know by now, the sardana is the traditional dance of Katalonia. Sardana is a quite relaxing dance as it has a slower rhythm and simple, but beautiful steps. It is also a nice group activity because sardana is danced in a circle with many people holding their hands above their heads while dancing. Sometimes more than 20 people dance in a circle! But smaller circles are also possible of course.

As a sign for mutual respect the dancers, or sardanistas, put something in the middle of the circle, usually their handbags or other belongings. This way, you can have a look at your belongings while dancing at the same time! There are also professional sardana groups that wear special costumes and study performances.

So expect a wonderful Sardana Festival in Salou with music and sardanistas! Salou apartments should also be no problem, because there are many beautiful Salou holiday rentals to choose from.

Most people know Salou because of its near main attraction, the Port Aventura park with its adventurous attractions and events. And of course this is also a huge plus for planning your Spain holiday in Salou! Especially if you have children, because they will love the attractions and roller coasters.

You can enjoy the park and later visit the Sardana Festival de San Marti to engage in a more calm activity. It depends on you if you want to book hotels directly in the Port Aventura Park or a Salou hotel that is near to Port Aventura.

But the park is not the only beautiful thing about Salou. The town at the Costa Dorada is beautiful itself, too. Salou has a lot of exciting beaches were you can relax, walk around or just admire the beautiful sea. Maybe you would like a hotel directly at a beach to enjoy the sea and coves and later experience the Sardana Festival San Marti? You can also try different sport activities, for example golfing at the Costa Dorada or many watersports.
