Everything you need to know about Cambrils
Cambrils is a Catalan port town on the Costa Daurada, split between a working fishing harbour ringed with celebrated seafood restaurants and an inland old town of medieval lanes around the church of Santa Maria. It is best known for its gastronomy — including Michelin-starred kitchens — its palm-lined Passeig Marítim, and its position as a relaxed base for Roman Tarragona, the PortAventura theme parks and the Priorat wine country. Spring and early autumn bring warm, easy weather and the smallest crowds.
