Costa Dorada History and Tradition:
This famous and enormous Spanish coast doesn’t just take pride in its golden sands but also for its rich history and traditions. Having planned your cheap holidays in this wonderful coast will take you to a place so vibrant and dynamic. It is surprising that this popular tourist heaven was once a small fishing village, before British tourist took notice of its potential as a tourist destination a few decades back. In return, its historical importance and well preserved traditions became one of the integral parts of its local tourism.

Like most coastal areas of Spain, Costa Dorada took a share of many influences from other tribes or groups of people that tried to conquer and eventually settled in the region. From antiquity to the present, its capital city Tarragona is still one of the most important ports of Spain. Among all of those civilizations that grew in Costa Dorada, the Romans left stronger influences in the region.

Costa Dorada during the height of the Roman Empire became a very striving and glorious city in Spain. Various Roman infrastructures like Roman baths and Amphitheater were built which portray how the Romans penetrated the traditional way of lives of the locals. Until now, these ruins are still standing and one of the “must-see” places in Costa Dorada.

Threats from Muslim raids from the Moors of the mighty Ottoman Empire are evident in various watch towers and fortresses along the coasts. Walled cities that were used as defenses are still well preserved and one of the stops for packaged tours in Costa Dorada.

Costa Dorada has the flair of mixed cultural influences from the Romans, Moors and authentic Spanish culture. Costa Dorada like most Spanish destinations have colorful parties and festivals that will leave tourists mesmerized. Lastly, dining in authentic native cuisine of Costa Dorada is also a very fulfilling experience.
