Mar De Cunit

Mar de Cunit is on the Costa Durada, the coastal stretch of Tarragona between Alcanar and the campsite's local town of Cunit. (Why is it called the Costa Durada or Golden Coat? Have a squint at its sands when the sun's a-shining.) If you don't want to travel too far, stick around the site's local town of Cunit, where there are two and a half kilometres' worth of golden sandy beach on which to lounge. Off the sands, quite a few culture vulture options are around this part of coast. History fans could travel along to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Royal Abbey of Santa Maria de Poblet, a Cistercian monastery dating back to the twelfth century, or to the ancient sights of Sitges half an hour from base (it must be pointed out that there are golden beaches at this latter too). Other most recommended options are a potter around the vineyards and wineries of the Penedès region, and at least a day in province capital and port city Tarragona, the ancient place filled with Roman ruins.
