Roda de Berà is located in a privileged area of the Costa Daurada, 20 minutes from Tarragona and close to towns such as Calafell, El Vendrell and Torredembarra.

Since Roman times, Roda de Berà has become a very important communication point, as it was located near the ancient Via Augusta, and history and the passage of years have turned Roda de Berà into the beautiful municipality that it is now, leaving an indelible mark on the cultural heritage and the character of its inhabitants.

Its spectacular beaches of fine golden sand, the appeal of its cultural heritage, its squares and alleyways, its charming corners, have made Roda de Berà a prominent tourist enclave of the Costa Daurada.
