Altafulla


Situated on the Costa Dorada, Altafulla is a little fishing village and a preferred destination of tourists. It is also close to the banks of the river Gaia, and offers a wide range of tourist attractions. The town has wonderfully retained its ancient, bucolic charm, and it is quite a pleasure to stroll along its narrow streets. This seaside village has an antique quarter where one is transported to an ancient medieval era. The area is called "Vila Closa," and its streets and buildings are a lovely historical treat. Altafulla s Roman heritage is still visible in the impressive ruins in the area. As well, its fine sandy beaches and crystal clear water is what makes Altafulla and the rest of the Costa Dorada famous, making many a tourist from all over the world return, time and again.
