Location: El Vendrell Catalonia Spain |
||||||||||||
The region of El Vendrell runs from the sea to the mountains. The ‘Blue Flag’ beaches of Coma-ruga, San Salvador and El Francàs (on the Costa Dorada, a coast of 7km.) are located 3.5 km. from the town and 15minutes by car from the house. The beaches are wide and long along the Mediterranean. They are peaceful and the water is clear and warm with a high iodine content – particularly healthy! El Vendrell and its beaches offer an exceptional place to enjoy the sun and the beach, practice water sports and make tourist visits both within and outside of the region. The area is exceptional for wines and Cava and many ‘bodegas’ can be visited. ‘Torres’ and ‘Freixenet’ are nearby, approx. 30 mins. by train. Train connections are good, easy and cheap but opening times of the bodegas and Cava houses are varied. Barcelona is also very easy to reach by train (1¼ hrs.). It’s great to take the train in, have a nice lunch, do a spot of sightseeing and come home in the early evening – and not feel shattered! In the opposite direction is Tarragona, which has great Roman ruins including an amphitheatre right by the sea. Again, going by train is exceptionally cheap and easy but to travel South by train it is best to begin the journey at the station at Coma-ruga (called St. Vincenc!) 15mins. drive from the house. Go a bit further along the coast and you could spend the day at ‘Port Aventura’ (a popular fun park) although there is a great water park right on the doorstep, AQUAPARK - SAFARI AQUALEON about 15mins away from the house. There is a wealth of museums, fiestas and cultural events in the area and an excellent variety of live music events (look out for the posters around the town!). Between Barcelona and El Vendrell is Sitges, a beautiful, small, wealthy town, one of our favourite haunts. Sitges lies on the Costa Garraf next to the Garraf national park, which boasts over 10,000 hectares covered in green. Sitges is also easily accessible by train but there are other great places to visit en route, both for shopping and sight-seeing and driving is just as easy (about 30mins.).
