In fact, the language is quite unique and unlike other Spanish languages spoken in the region. The rich culture has given way to a number of unique Spanish guided tours with a variety of themes to enjoy based on your own preference.

       

Villanova i la Geltru is the Spanish town where Paramount Places is located. Nearby are two historical cities. Reus and Tarragona. Salou is a quaint fishing village which has turned into quite a tourist mecca with numerous eating establishments offering local cuisine. This is likely the most culture rich region of Spain. 

Tarragona, renowned for its famous and fascinating Roman ruins is rich in history. Once a famous European trading city, Reus is the birth place of the most forward thinking and advanced architecture in the world. Many of the most popular building s were either designed and built by Gaudi or are attempts at following his uniquely different works.

Salou is likely the largest of tourist cities next to Barcelona because of the abundance of nightlife and bars found here. As you travel further down the coast you eventually arrive at Cambrills a quaint fishing village. There are four beautiful golf courses with more planned.  The weather in this region of Spain is near perfect year round.

 

More important and most popular is the local cuisine...         the food, history, and unique culture of the Spanish region prevails even beyond the picturesque beauty of the land and coastline.  No matter where you go you are likely to discover a vineyard or winery because some of the World's best wines originate in this part of the world. 

Cambrils is a well-known fishing town on the Costa Dorada, the town of Cambrils is located along the sea front so naturally, it has fine beaches and sands families can take pleasure in. Salou is large, busy and full to the brim with pubs and bars, many of which (such as The Rovers Return) cater for British tourists. Compared to resorts such as Benidorm, the nightlife here is relatively quieter, with only a couple of nightclubs. Tapas are probably the concept of Spanish cuisine most admired and imitated around the world, inspiring thousands of bars and restaurants. While coffee is the fuel behind millions of Spanish mornings, sangria is perfect for long, hot summer afternoons. The red wine and fruit punch can be found everywhere in Spain. Rioja and Valdepenas are among the leading varieties of Spanish wine, and you'll also find quality cavas, or sparkling wines, throughout the country. Spanish sherry (or jerez) is a mainstay in Spanish bars, restaurants and family homes.


Salou is ideally placed for exploring some fascinating cities and major tourist attractions, including the Salvador Dali museum at Figueres, the beautiful city of Barcelona with its fabulous Gaudi architecture and the awe-inspiring mountain monastery at Montserrat. The neighbouring resort of Cambrils has retained all the charm of a small fishing village. It's renowned for its excellent seafood restaurants; pop along there in the early evening on weekdays and you'll be able to see the day's catch being landed and auctioned. L'Ametlla de Mar nowadays, remains a fisherman's village at heart, but its development over the last few years is also apparent, thanks to the huge growth of tourism.
