Hi all, am hoping for some assistance from some of you lovely people.
My boyfriend and I are intending to go to the Costa Dorada area for 5 days after 5 days in Barcelona. I think Salou would be a bit too 'noisy' for us and am looking for some suggestions. On holiday we like to eat (a lot) lol, preferably a variety of restaurants, relax by the pool and go to the beach (sandy, bf hates pebble and shingle beaches). If it helps any we found Puerto Rico in Gran Canaria ok but a wee bit busy, Kalamaki in Zante was absolutely perfect for us, as was Hammemet Yasmine in tunisia. As far as I can see the options for us are La Pineada, Tarragonna and Cambrils, but feel free to correct me!
Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated,
hi you would like cambrils and la pineda. the beaches are lovely. cambrils have a lot of retuarants on the front with the marina .very relaxing. i think la pineda is quieter.
Doesn't Cambrils more or less run into Salou so you could have the best of both worlds? Been a long time since I've been to Salou but that's what I've heard. They used to be separate but are now more or less one resort?
hi glynis yes cambrils does run into salou and the buses are very frequent. or the land train goes that way.taxis are a bit more if you feel flush!!(expensive)
Also I heard that there is not much English spoken in Cambrils, my Spanish is non existant, will this be a problem?
there is quite a few along the seafront and we've never had a problem not speaking spanish.
Ended up booking Villa Romana in Salou
Vi.la Romana is a lovely hotel and in a quiet area of Salou. To be honest, compared to some other Spanish resorts Salou is not that noisy and out of the main holiday months of July and August is never rowdy (even in July & August its rare for it to be rowdy). I hope you have a nice time, Salou doesn't score well on Spanish culture but has a lovely beach and seafront and some nice bars on the rocks on the left hand side of the main beach. If you walk down the promenade to the marina and do a right turn into Barcelona Street you will find a more Spanish side to the resort (its not typical white washed but much more Spanish than the other end of town). You are also only 5-10 minutes by bus from Cambrils which will offer you a taste of real Spain. Have a nice time!
Am so exited now, hope the weather is gonna be ok cause its been really miserable here and I could do with cheering up!
