## Visit L'Arrabassada Beach

Activities

#### Calm water, golden sands, a floating platform and scenic walks await you at this Mediterranean beach in northeast Spain.

Enjoy a day of a fun and relaxation at L’Arrabassada Beach. The 1,804-feet (550-meter) long bay is a favorite with families because of its calm water and golden sands. In fact Tarragona's long coastline is nicknamed Costa Daurada which is Catalan for Golden Coast. 

Bring a towel and a book and stretch out on the soft sands. The beach is cleaned regularly and has been given the European Blue Flag award for its safety and water quality. Go for a swim in water that is calm for most of the year. The shoreline shelves gently and so the shallow sea here is good for children and inexperienced swimmers. Swim out to the floating platform and propel yourself into the water down its slide. 

Amble along the scenic seafront promenade, which stretches for the length of the beach. When you’re ready to escape the sun, cool off with a drink at one of the cafés.

If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, take a walk to the small peninsula between L’Arrabassada Beach and neighboring La Savinosa Beach. Here you will find the city’s abandoned sanatorium, dating back to 1929\. The hospital complex encompasses a main building, chapel, several streets, plazas and fountains. Its original purpose was to house tuberculosis patients. Later, it served as a home for children left orphaned by the authoritarian regime of the dictator Francisco Franco. The site was closed down in the 1970s and has been derelict ever since. Today, it is surrounded by a fence.

Tarragona’s mild climate means that sea is good for swimming from June to September. Among the facilities here are toilets, beach bars and showers. L’Arrabassada Beach is less than 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the city center. If you don’t want to walk, take a taxi or drive. There is a parking zone near the beach. Alternatively come by public transport. Several bus routes serve the beach.

Such a beautiful hotel with a calm & relaxed atmosphere, we were so pleased that we’d booked to stay here! From the great breakfasts to the gorgeous rooftop pool, this was a gem of a place to have found. Checked in by really professional and welcoming staff, we loved the convenience of parking on site and being able to opt for an apartment to give us a little more space and the opportunity to self cater if we wanted to. Already can’t wait to return, many thanks to the whole team- a super time was had by us both!

The hotel was suppose to be 5 stars, but is not. The staff seem to be very nice but they did nothing (only a fan) when we told them that the air conditioner was broken.
