Iberians and Romans, Arabs and feudal lords, all of them are part of the history of Calafell. The Iberian Citadel, the Barral House-Museum, the Lifeboat, the Church of San Miguel or the Castle of the Holy Cross are some of the testimonies of history, which serve as a guide through time until today.
Open door to the Costa Dorada, in a privileged location between Barcelona and Tarragona, Calafell mixes the richness of its historical heritage with the powerful attraction of five kilometers of fine, golden sand and a promenade that accompanies them throughout the journey. In addition to a magnificent marina, located in the center of Segur de Calafell.
