A superb climate ensures Costa Dorada holidays are popular all year round. Costa Dorada holidays are very popular with families, combining outstanding sandy beaches with some of Spain’s most exciting attractions for children: the Aquopolis water park at La Pineda and the thrills and non-stop entertainment at Universal Port Aventura, Spain’s best known theme park.
