The Costa Dorada: A destination everyone wants to visit

The history of this coastline has left a deep mark on our culture, not only visible, but also recognised nationally and internationally since ancient times. Since Roman times, the Costa Dorada has preserved prehistoric cave paintings and Roman archaeological remains, archaeological elements and monuments of great cultural value, some of which have been declared World Heritage Sites in the province of Tarragona. Over the centuries, this territory has been a source of inspiration for great artists such as Joan Miró and Pau Casals, especially during the rise of modernism in the 19th century.

Although the Costa Dorada was already shining brightly, it was in the 1960s when its tourism potential really took off. Its beaches, iconic to the destination and the origin of its name thanks to the fine sand that glitters like gold in the sun, attracted a number of travellers who consolidated the area as a place in expansion. The opening of PortAventura in 1996 was the final push that reinforced the region's status as an iconic Mediterranean destination and further placed it on the international tourism and leisure map.
