Creixell

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.
