With over 150 miles of wide, golden sandy beaches is it any wonder that they named this the golden coast. With tree lined promenades, which are abundant with shops and ice cream parlours it’s a great place to be by day, but once darkness falls there are more than enough bars and disco’s to keep everyone happy. You can jump on the train to Barcelona for a touch of culture or even a touch of star spotting, where you might just see famous faces such as Christina Aguilera, Julia Roberts or Samuel L Jackson. Alternatively take a trip to an amazing fun packed theme park, neither should be missed if you decide to take the short flight to the Costa Dorada.
