Costa Dorada
The colour of gold -soft, warm and bright- is predominant alone, the marine littoral in the southern part of
Catalonia and has rightly given it the name of Costa Dorada (
Golden
Coast ).
The golden hue acquired by the fine sands of its beaches is due to their facing southeast as well as the intensity of the sun's rays. The situation of the beaches, open to the sun, provides them with the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day during each of the seasons of the year. Add to this the protection offered by the nearby mountain range just off the coast and a benign and stable climate is assured all year round. The beaches are huge, with abundant fine sand sinking into the sea in a soft slope, allowing ample areas for safely going into the water.
This type of beaches, along with the numerous apartments for rent, make the Costa Dorada a choice area for family holidays, very appropriate for children and elderly persons and suited to those seeking peace and quietness.
