Cambrils is located in the Spanish region of Catalonia on the Costa Dorada. The town has developed as a modern, international tourist destination whilst managing to retain the charm of a traditional Spanish fishing village. Its three biggest attractions are without doubt its golden beaches, its fabulous seafood restaurants and its proximity to the Universal Studios Port Aventura theme park.

You'll find plenty to see and do here but this is a fairly relaxed resort - if it's frantic activity you're after, you'll be better off in the resort of Salou! The resort is at the south western end of the Costa Dorada (known locally as the Costa Daurada). The name literally means "Gold Coast", taken from the miles of golden sand which stretch north east beyond Barcelona to the start Costa Brava.

Cambrils is easily reached via two international airports - Reus just 12 kilometres away and Barcelona which is about an hour's drive north east. The many beaches here extend over nine kilometres. With fine sand gently shelving into the warm waters of the Mediterranean and plenty of watersports and beach activities, Cambrils is an ideal destination for families and beach buffs.
