Calafell is a coast city near Tarragona. It's special for me because I've been there every summer and almost all the weekends since I was born. It's not the most beautiful city with the most incredible beach, but I like it because I keep lots of good memories from there.
Calafell is in the south-east of Catalonia, near Tarragona city. People usually go there in summer, because it's a hot and comfortable place in this season. There are a few number of people that live there all the year. When you're walking through its streets, you can feel tranquillity, silence and you're able to smell the sea, even if you're three hundred meters from it. You can only hear noise or feel the active and vibrant part of the city if you're in the seafront, on the beach, in the “Village”, the way we call the group of commercial streets, or in the harbour. I love these two different parts of the city.
Calafell is a city with a historical past: there you can find and visit a castle, built in the XI century, and you can find and visit too a part of a Roman city. Nowadays we can only see its remains. There are lots of streets full of shops and hotels where you can buy or stay, and it's situated next to the seafront. You can have fun in the harbour too, where you can meet friends, play any sport you want, angle with your ship, have dinner in the restaurants or buy clothes, ships or fishing tackles.
Well, now you know more about this fabulous city. What are you waiting to come?
