Costa Dorada Weather
Featuring soft, golden beaches on the Mediterranean and milder summer temperatures than destinations such as the Costa del Sol, the Costa Dorada makes luxuriating on the beach comfortable for those less comfortable in the heat. Temperatures typically range from 20° Celsius to 26° Celsius in the summer, with little rainfall – although short, refreshing showers are not uncommon. Shorts, tee shirts and sandals are definitely order of the day, especially for those lazy days by the beach.
The best time of year to visit the Costa Dorada is between May and August, with plenty of sunlight and deliciously cool breezes from the Mediterranean – bring your suntan lotion!
Things To Do on Costa Dorada Holidays
Costa Dorada holidays offer many exciting activities and attractions, the most prominent being Port Aventura, a vast theme park similar to Busch Gardens in Florida. Featuring water rides such as the Grand Canyon Rapids and the Sea Odyssey underwater adventure, Port Aventura is themed across five continental areas and remains one of the most popular attractions of the area.
For those looking for more relaxed activities, the Costa Dorada also offers a surprising variety of cultural treats, with several theatres and museums on offer. The Fortuny Theatre in Reus is steeped in history, having been built in 1882, and is widely considered to be one of the best theatres in Spain. The Archaeological Museum Tarragona, the oldest museum in Catalonia, houses exhibits from regional monuments such as the Circus Maximus and the Necropolis, and is well worth a visit to see the fascinating influence of Romanisation on the area.
Culture
The rich and varied Mediterranean culture of the Costa Dorada is evident wherever you look, from the classical architecture to the local foods. The area manages to blend modern and contemporary buildings with the traditional Mediterranean feel of the original Roman buildings, and the area is home to both the Benedictine monastery of Saint Mary of Montserrat and the 14th century Roman-Gothic cathedral, which contains the tomb of Joan d’Arago.
The area plays host to a variety of annual carnivals and festivals, including the Veteran Car Rally, the Fiesta Major, Corpus Christi and the Grape Harvest Festival, offering visitors a glimpse at a uniquely Spanish tradition. As for the food, in addition to more traditional Spanish fare such as paella, there are many local delicacies to sample, such as zarzuelas and butifarra sausage casserole, and the wines of the area are both good and inexpensive.
