Torredembarra is located in the <\/span>Baix Gai\u00e0<\/span><\/b> area, in the northeast of the <\/span>Tarragon\u00e8s <\/span><\/b>region, just 12 kilometres from the provincial capital, <\/span>Tarragona<\/span><\/b>, and less than half an hour from <\/span>Reus<\/span><\/b>. Its location also has a direct connection with the city of <\/span>Barcelona<\/span><\/b>, just over an hour away. The municipality of <\/span>Torredembarra<\/span><\/a> has <\/span>7 population centres<\/span><\/b>: Torredembarra, les \u00c0mfores, Baix a Mar, Clar\u00e0, Mar\u00edtima Residencial, Mol\u00ed de Vent and Els Munts. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Its economic engine is mainly <\/span>tourism<\/span><\/b>, due to its incredible climate and its excellent <\/span>sun and beach<\/span><\/b> offer; although <\/span>fishing <\/span><\/b>has also played and plays a very important role throughout the last century. Its <\/span>marina<\/span><\/b>, located on the Roquer cliff, hosts daily fish auctions in the <\/span>fish market<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you visit the town, you can’t miss its <\/span>lighthouse<\/span><\/b>, which has earned the title of the <\/span>tallest in Catalonia<\/span><\/b>.

It is a cove, which is cradled by the surrounding cliffs, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean vegetation in all its splendour.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another one of them is <\/span>La Paella beach<\/span><\/b>, one of the most familiar, due to its calm waters and its extensive shallow shore. It has areas dedicated to sports, such as beach volleyball courts; and it is very close to the marina, where you can enjoy numerous <\/span>water activities<\/span><\/b>, such as <\/span>paddle surfing<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>snorkelling<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>kayaking<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>surfing <\/span><\/b>and <\/span>scuba diving<\/span><\/b>, among others.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, the <\/span>Baix a Mar beach<\/span><\/a> is about 800 metres long. Due to it connects the old <\/span>fishermen’s neighbourhood<\/span><\/b> with the Mediterranean Sea, it was once the way out to sea for the boats. Nowadays, it has a<\/span> children’s play area<\/span><\/b>, a maritime club and a sports area. In addition, in this area you will find a wide range of <\/span>gastronomic establishments<\/span><\/b> where you can taste the best local and Mediterranean cuisine.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, <\/span>Els Muntanyans beach<\/span><\/b>, of great environmental value, has dunes and salt marshes that give it a different appearance from the rest. It is included in the <\/span>Playa de Torredembarra and Creixell natural area<\/span><\/a>, a set of dunes and wetlands inhabited by a unique <\/span>biodiversity <\/span><\/b>in this area of the central Mediterranean.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”|60px||60px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|40px||40px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” min_height=”181.8px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”3px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n In addition to its beaches, Torredembarra stands out for other places along its coastline, such as the <\/span>Roca Foradada <\/span><\/b>cave<\/span>, a cavity formed by marine erosion, with a small pond inside. It is worth mentioning that in the past it was a fishing spot, since, before the construction of the port, the sea water reached the interior of this space.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another emblematic place is <\/span>El Roquer<\/span><\/b>, a large cliff that characterises its coastline, on which the Torredembarra lighthouse is located.
