The Costa Daurada (golden coast) starts at the Garraf Massif south of Barcelona, stretching down to the Province capital Tarragona and on until the Ebro delta in southern Catalonia. The coast offers long sandy beaches and shallow, clear water, but also a few almost untouched coves flanked by rocky cliffs and pine trees. It’s not the Caribbean, but ideal for relaxing, sunbathing and snorkeling. The nearest beach towns that can be reached from Can Gramunt in half an hours’ drive are Sitges and Vilanova i la Geltrú. The more secluded beaches close to Tarragona are slightly further away.
