The municipality of Creixell is located in the north of the Tarragonès region. It forms part of the so-called Costa Dorada, and with almost 2 km of beach, it is a distinctly tourist town, with hotel capacity for 30,000 visitors.

A beach stretching over two kilometers along the Costa Daurada is undoubtedly the perfect excuse for a relaxing getaway, and it doesn't matter if it's summer, spring, autumn, or winter. A place with an intense blue sea, radiant sunshine, and beaches of fine golden sand—which give this paradise in southern Catalonia its name—is ideal any time of year, especially when it boasts such an interesting cultural and heritage offering as Creixell. How could you resist?

Located between Torredembarra and Roda de Berà, this municipality becomes the best alternative for families or couples looking for a place to enjoy a relaxed and peaceful stay in contact with nature and culture.

Nature and healthy routes

If you enjoy being in nature and outdoor activities, you should know that this area boasts a large number of routes and trails suitable for all levels. In addition to admiring beautiful scenery, you can take care of your health while getting some exercise. If you're adventurous and looking for more challenging routes, you can try the hiking trails from Crexiell to Santes Creus, covering more than 30 kilometers, or explore the Baix Gaià Castle Route, a circular itinerary that passes through several towns in the Baix Gaià region. If you're a cycling enthusiast, you'll surely love the route from Creixell to El Vendrell along the Green Way. On the other hand, if you prefer long, leisurely walks in silence, enjoying the sound of the waves, another great option is to follow a section of the coastal paths to Roc de Sant Gaietà, Torradembarra, or Roda de Berà. As you can see, Creixell has a wide range of options to suit all tastes!

If you prefer spending time near the sea, Creixell is the perfect beach for you. Gorg Beach is a protected natural area where, thanks to its excellent conservation and the surrounding dunes and wetlands, you can discover the native flora and fauna. If you're looking for a family day out or water sports, Creixell Beach, with its white sand and shallow waters, offers the best options for an unforgettable day.

Oh! And before we forget, birdwatchers shouldn't miss the Murtra stream area, a protected wetland of great importance as it is home to a large number of protected species.

Culture and heritage

In the town's historic center, you can enjoy a cultural stroll and immerse yourself in the history of this beautiful village. There you'll discover the impressive parish church of Sant Jaume, where the modernist dome of the bell tower, contrasting with the Renaissance decoration of the building, is sure to catch your eye. If you continue wandering through the narrow stone streets, you'll pass several stately homes such as Ca la Miquelina, Cal Jeroni, and Cal Xacó, with their defensive towers that were once part of the old medieval wall. Furthermore, in the center of town lie the ruins of a Roman house, a testament to the importance this spot on the Costa Daurada held for this civilization. Indeed, there are still many archaeological sites to be explored in the surrounding area.

We encourage you to discover all the secrets of the old and beautiful Creixell. You're sure to be surprised.
