Lifestyle Holidays at Vilanova Park

If you’re feeling a bit breathless after all the energetic activities on site and down at the beach, take a break from the coast and head inland to the Pantà de Foix area (10 minutes’ drive) for strolls around the forests and reservoir, plus Castellet Castle, which you can pre-book tours to visit. If ancient sites are a favourite with your family, head to the port city of Tarragona, 35 minutes’ drive away. Roman ruins are dotted all over, including an amphitheatre right on the beach, and you can learn more about them in the National Archaeological Museum. Another city where you can delve into the history of this part of Catalonia is Lleida (an hour and 20 minutes), where a fortress cathedral dating back to the 13th century dominates the skyline. Then when you’re ready to take the energy up a level again, splash down at Aqualeon (30 minutes), one of the biggest water theme parks in Europe. Or head 45 minutes south to PortAventura World which rolls a theme park, water park and Ferrari-themed attraction all into one.
