Our in depth two-week itinerary for the Spanish Mediterranean Coastline is a good way to uncover iconic modest towns and villages on the Mediterranean Coastline of Spain and spectacular character. It is excellent for these who really do not like currently being on the transfer and touring with children. A lot of classic highlights are not section of the itinerary, but we uncovered Spanish architecture in the silent villages and the heat tradition in the coastal towns.   

Wherever we stayed

The first 7 days we stayed at Vera Playa Club Hotel close to Almeria. It was our third time to chose the Vera Playa Club Resort for our trip to Almeria. The vacation resort has a huge and well-shaped swimming pool and a little indoor pool. Guests can also engage in chess and minigolf devoid of having to pay an extra value. We like the resort for two good reasons: its restaurant terrace is proper following to the seaside, and a immediate walkway from the lodge compound to the seashore. Though owning diners, we could also enjoy the sea watch and look at the sunsets. 

Vera Playa Club Lodge is the initially naturist hotel in Spain. Visitors ought to be nude in the pool area at all hrs, but the relaxation spot is optional. It was a distinct variety of holiday working day in an genuine oasis. Even so, we choose it there mainly because of its place, usefulness, kid-welcoming facilities, gourmet meals, and many others.

In the 2nd 7 days, we stayed in Resort Cara Font close to Salou. The Hotel is freshly renovated and is upcoming to a community seaside. It is a normal seaside holiday getaway lodge that targets households with children. Through the higher seasons, repeated buses operate to the town of Salou. From Hotel Cara Font to the major beach of Salou, the length is about 4 kilometres, and a element of the mountaineering path Camí de Ronda.

The spots we frequented are all inside a single hour of driving length. We still experienced a lot of time just after the excursions. For that reason, we did not overlook out on swimming in the sea and chilled out in the pool.

Upon look at in, we have been also supplied towels for the pool. It was previously late afternoon, and we took the time to chill out upcoming to the pool.

The subsequent working day, we resolved to chill out next to the pool or swim in the sea. The Mediterranean Sea had a temperature of 28 levels, even increased than the pool! On that working day, for the reason that of the higher waves, we had to just take safeguards when likely into the water. The lifeguard was also highly warn and walked alongside the seashore.

3^rd Day: Mojácar Pueblo in Andalucía

Mojácar Pueblo is a regular whitewashed village and one particular of the most charming places in Almeria. It is just a few kilometres absent from our resort. Mojácar Pueblo is compact but comprehensive of surprises. Mudéjar architecture, winding slim streets, attractive corners, and whitewashed homes are the best objects for my photos.

4th Working day: Alcazaba of Almería

Almeria is about one hour of driving time. Alcazaba of Almería is the most significant fortress constructed by the Arabs in Spain and a relic of Spain’s interesting history. We followed Google navigation but failed to arrive at the parking area. Hence, we experienced to park on the street straight subsequent to the palace and a rubbish dumping spot.

The newly renovated Alcazaba of Almería comprises 3 elements, residing quarters and baths, the palace structures, and the ruins of a castle constructed by Ferdinand and Isabella immediately after they took the metropolis in 1489.

5^th Working day: Playa de los Cocedores, Aguilas

On the way to Aguilas, we stopped at Playa de los Cocedores, a beach well-known for coves. The beach is modest with a fifty percent-round bay. It is a perfect photographic location.

Águilas is a pleasant port city situated on Costa Cálida. I like its characteristic black-and-white striped lighthouse, a windmill on top rated of the hill, graffiti stairways, and the castle-fortress of San Juan de Águilas, which are unique in the town. Dining establishments offer you different food stuff at economical selling prices. In just one eatery in close proximity to the waterfront, we tasted crispy fried eggplant fingers. I am not a supporter of eggplant mainly because of its vegetal bitterness, but its sweet crispy coating and golden brown have contented my hunger.

6^th Day: Extremely Playa seaside

With an additional day to go, we made a decision to love our previous working day on the beach front and future to the hotel’s pool. The hotel also gives evening entertainment, with live audio and dancing effectiveness. The applications finish at midnight. So, in the early early morning, only a few attendees joined us swimming. We spent some time in the pool and soon after lunch in the afterwards afternoon, when most guests arrived into the pool, we went into the sea. Significantly out of the seaside, we however received shoulder deep and stood on the sandy bottom. This is just one of the best beaches along the Spanish Mediterranean Coastline.

7th Working day: Drove to Cala Font in the vicinity of Salou

It took us about 6 hrs to travel to Salou. Nonetheless, due to the lunch break, we had been on the road the whole working day. When we at last arrived at the Resort Cala Font, we could not park in front of the hotel to unload baggage and verify in, so we drove to a close by absolutely free parking location.

Later on, we observed that holidaymakers could park practically just about everywhere alongside the streets or in some unpaved parking locations in the forests.

8^th Working day: Camí de Ronda (from Hotel Cala Font to Punta del Cap de Salou)

The seaside path Camí de Ronda around Salou has a length of 6 kilometres. The trail operates together the beach locations and coves and is a significantly less touristy spot. We went toward the Cap Salou but turned back soon before the Cap Salou. It was sultry climate with an air temperature of 34°C. We neither carried sufficient water nor had suitable footwear for the hiking due to the fact we underestimated the trail. The best issue to do was to cool down and refresh in the sea. 

So, we hurried to leap into the water or rest on the beach! 

9^th Working day: Salou

In the early early morning, Salou was silent. But commencing from lunchtime, the seashore was specifically full. The promenade is nicely organized, with a palm tree alley, statues, fountains, etcetera. We wandered via the centre aimlessly and dropped in quite a few souvenir retailers to interesting ourselves down considering that most retailers had air conditioning.

About lunchtime, all eating places ended up open and occupied by only a couple of visitors. Most places to eat with a sea look at presented desirable menus but no air-conditioning. It is like a furnace outside, so how would I enjoy the foodstuff on their outside seats then? 

A several streets from the waterfront, the KFC with air-conditioning was open. It was so full that we experienced to wait for very a prolonged to get our food items.

10^th Day: Sitges

Sitges is a perfect working day excursion spot from Barcelona together the Spanish Mediterranean coastline. Compared with the whitewashed Spanish villages, the Catalan town of Sitges is renowned for its LGBT-welcoming community. Right before entering the outdated town, I was now captivated by the views out alongside the picturesque shoreline. The quaint outdated quarter has cobbled alleyways lined with quite a few palaces.

The Church of San Bartolome and Santa Tecla (Església de Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla) is visible from considerably away and is reachable together the beach front. From the outdated town, we walked to Ermita de la Trinitat de Sitges, a smaller chapel on the hill, and then back to the aged quarter.

11^th Day: Tarragona

The historic quarter of Tarragona stays primarily untouched and attributes such as slim alleys, the Roman Amphitheatre, a Cathedral designed at the maximum level of the cash, and many others. It is a town complete of surprises with hundreds of years of civilization.

It was scorching scorching on that day! However, we took a prolonged wander from the centre to the Balcony to the Mediterranean, a splendid viewpoint open to the sea above the beach. About lunchtime, we could not bear the warmth and dropped into a Japanese restaurant on the primary road La Rambla Nova which experienced to be air-conditioned and available an all-you-can-try to eat Sushi lunch buffet at 13,50 Euros for every particular person!

12^th Day: Camí de Ronda (from Resort Cala Font to the seaside of Salou)

According to the map, the observe from Cala Font to Salou should really be less difficult to stroll. Nonetheless, we nonetheless packed ample water and put mountaineering sneakers on. Whilst closely sweating, we ended up delighted with the organic and scenic beauty of the seashores and coves together the way. Camí de Ronda is a single of the greatest hiking trails on the Spanish Mediterranean Coastline.

13^th Working day: Montblanc, Salou at evening

Montblanc is 1 of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in Cataluña. It is modest but has numerous Romanesque and Gothic monuments to see. In the Spanish high summer season, wandering around in this sort of an previous town is the ideal way to escape the sunshine and warmth waves.

On the other two evenings, we drove to Salou but unsuccessful to come across parking. In the evening, those sunbathers came out of the water and crowded the streets, eating places, and stores. Vacationers from the neighbouring village also came to be part of the evening actions. Consequently, on the 3rd night, we took the nearby bus and arrived in the centre of Salou alternatively.

14^th Day: Generate back to Frankfurt

On the way back to Germany, we stayed right away at Ibis. And in the upcoming working day, we handed Nancy of France to have a speedy lunch in the centre ahead of heading again to Frankfurt.
