Clar\u00e0: the town next to the campsite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you get in the car, start with the closest one. Clar\u00e0 is a small medieval village that is right next to the campsite, and the campsite takes its name from it. You can get there on foot in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is ideal for an evening stroll, when the heat subsides and the streets are quiet, before returning to dinner at the campsite bar-restaurant<\/a>. A good way to start your vacation by getting to know the immediate surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altafulla: the Vila Closa and a Roman villa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

About 10 minutes from the campsite, Altafulla<\/a> is one of the most beautiful towns in the Costa Daurada. Its old town, Vila Closa, is a medieval complex of narrow streets with the Montserrat Castle at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to the sea there is the Roman villa of Munts<\/strong>, part of the archaeological complex of Tarraco declared World Heritage. After the visit, Altafulla beach and its promenade are perfect for lunch or a swim. If you are going there with children, we will explain why Camping is the best option for family travel.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamarit: a castle over the sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Riera de Gai\u00e0: rural essence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inside but very close, the Gai\u00e0 Stream<\/a> It maintains the character of a small town. It is the place to buy local products: honey, oil, cold cuts or baked bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creixell: towers, views and silence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
