The campsites along the Costa Dorada enchant with their direct location by the sea and guarantee wonderful hours by and in the crystal-clear water during your camping holiday. The northern Spanish province of Tarragona has over 200 km of coastline with golden-coloured beaches. Most of the campsites also allow camping with dogs.
The Costa Dorada is particularly suitable for holidaymakers who want to spend a relaxing break sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the blue Mediterranean. The idyllic campsites are mostly located near the coast and promise warm sunshine, swimming fun and soft sand. Those who enjoy hiking will discover the "golden" mountains of the hinterland.
There are also numerous attractions in the surrounding towns and villages for culturally interested campers. Parents can also enjoy a cosy holiday with their little ones on the family-run and child-friendly campsites on the Costa Dorada. Whether with your own caravan, in a tent close to nature or in comfortably furnished mobile homes - everyone will find the right accommodation to suit their tastes and needs here.
The journey from Germany to the Costa Dorada takes you right across France. The last section of the journey partly runs right next to the picturesque coast. Travellers coming from their home towns in Germany are best advised to cross the French border after Saarbrücken or Freiburg. The direct route leads past Dijon via Lyon and Montpellier to Perpignan.
After Perpignan, travellers pass the border with Spain. The route continues past Girona and Barcelona on the E90 to Tarragona and the Costa Dorada. Depending on the starting point in Germany, the entire route is between 1,400 and 1,900 kilometres. Most of the motorways in Spain and France are subject to tolls.
The Aire de Mâcon Saint-Albain with playgrounds, restaurants and Wi-Fi just before Lyon is a favourite rest stop for a stopover - with the option of staying overnight in your own motorhome or in affordable hotels. We also recommend the Aire du Bornaron near Valence, which is surrounded by cornfields.
The Costa Dorada not only promises a pleasant beach holiday, but also delights visitors with places worth seeing that offer diverse cultural and natural treasures and tell of a past steeped in history.
A visit to Tarragona, the capital of the province of the same name, is a must when camping on the Costa Dorada. Thanks to the countless Roman remains and historic buildings, culture lovers in particular are drawn to the city.
The walled, medieval old town invites you to stroll through the narrow, cobbled streets and cosy cafés with outdoor seating tempt you with coffee and cake. You can also take a relaxed stroll along the palm-lined promenade and enjoy an exotic cocktail in the evening in the bars by the harbour.
The neighbouring town of Cambrils is ideal for exciting adventures with children. If the kids love climbing and romping around, the Jumpland Aventura Ecològica high ropes course is just the thing. Here you can balance across suspension bridges, shimmy from platform to platform in nets and go on zip lines.
There are similar thrills in the XtremePark with paintball, football, a laser maze and a fun course of bouncy castles, slides and gladiator fights. The city is also perfect for families, as the entertainment programme is perfectly adapted to younger visitors with playgrounds and age-appropriate performances.
Camping on the Costa Dorada also offers excellent opportunities for sporting activities and active exploration of the campsites' surroundings.
The Costa Dorada has well-developed and signposted paths for exploring the unique natural surroundings on foot or by bike. Holidaymakers can either follow the paths along the picturesque coastline or head inland, where the terrain becomes more hilly. Those who prefer alpine terrain can start in the majestic mountain landscape in the hinterland and conquer the 950 metres of the Mirador de la Peña, for example. From the viewing platform on the summit, the ascent is rewarded with far-reaching panoramic views.
The seemingly endless Golden Coast with its beautiful beaches offers a wide range of water sports for holidaymakers looking for fun in the cool water. Kayaks and pedalos can be hired for paddling in the crystal-clear sea and discovering secluded bays.
Windsurfing instead involves gliding over the waves of the Costa Dorada with powerful gusts. The balance game of stand-up paddling is also becoming increasingly popular. Those who are drawn to the colourful underwater world can book one of the organised dives at one of the certified schools.
The Festival of History in Tarragona is all about the Roman era. Every year in June, the streets are filled with people dressed in the original costumes of the time. All the guests behave as they did in ancient times, practising typical activities and re-enacting everyday life in the past. You can marvel at military parades with spears, swords and shields or watch exciting gladiator fights. At the various stands, blacksmiths demonstrate their skills, tailors sew elaborate clothing and tasty dishes are cooked. There are also theatre performances, folklore shows and live music.
The Nits Daurades (Golden Nights) summer festival is organised in Salou every year. Colourful parades with giant heads and figures take over the streets. The highlight at the end is the Night of Fire, when the fire devils parade through the town with drums, dancing and a shower of sparks. The light show gives you goosebumps and creates a lively atmosphere. The Castells, fascinating human towers that rise to dizzying heights, are a unique spectacle. Finally, a breathtaking firework display lights up the dark night sky over the city and the beach.
The cuisine of the Costa Dorada is varied with diverse Mediterranean influences from Greece, Italy and France. Local products such as olive oil, vegetables, aromatic herbs and lots of garlic are used in the preparation of Catalan delicacies. Of course, freshly caught fish from the Mediterranean is also on the menu.
Especially in autumn, tasty mushroom dishes end up on the plate. If you want to try dishes that are rather unusual by German standards, you can savour snails in herb sauce - a real delicacy. One of the most famous specialities is the traditional paella, a rice dish with seafood.
A glass of sun-kissed wine or local sparkling wine is a must during the meal. Catalan cuisine is known for using only carefully selected ingredients and experimenting generously with different flavours.
The climate at the campsites on the Costa Dorada is mild all year round and is characterised by the Mediterranean Sea. Summer lasts from June to September and boasts temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius. This is also when the water is warmest for swimming at 20 to 26 degrees Celsius. The region tends to be dry with little rainfall.
Most of the rain falls between March and May. In the winter months of December to February, it can get quite cold and the temperature sometimes drops below five degrees Celsius at night. The travel period from June to October is particularly recommended for a camping holiday.
