Notes on accommodation
There are room fans for very hot weather, but as the flat is on the corner of the block all the rooms have outside windows, which helps to keep the flat cool. There are plug in room convector heaters for cold weather.
Accessibility
The flat is on the 3rd floor and there is a reliable lift. Access to roof terrace from lounge by stairs.
Outside
Roof terrace with sun awning, granite table and chairs, 2 sun loungers.
Coast/Beach
The apartment is very close (less than 10 minutes walk) to the beach. There is a marina at one end and the old fishing village at the other. There are pedalos and sun loungers and umbrellas available for hire. On summer evenings there are trampolines and market stalls. The beach itself is wide and sandy and very safe staying fairly shallow for quite a long way out. Ideal for children.
Golf
The Costa Dorada golf course at Tarragona is just fifteen minutes drive and the cost for a day starts at 54 euros.
Travel
The nearest airport is Reus about 20 minutes by taxi, which can be arranged at the time of booking. Alternatively Barcelona Airport is about and hour and half by train or just under an hour by car. We are about 10 minutes walk to the station, and there is a very good local bus service. You can avoid hiring a car as everything you need is only a walk away.
Distances
Tarragona is about 15 minutes away by bus or train. Barcelona centre is about 1 hour by train and Port Aventura in Salou is easily reached by train in about 20 minutes. Torredembarra has all the shops and restaurants you need and all are close at hand.
Further details
The apartment is located in the centre of the village just a moment away from the village square with its pavement cafes, ideal for having a drink and watching the world go by. Bakers, supermarkets, banks, pharmacy, hairdressers, clothes shops, bars and restaurants all close at hand. The old village is a maze of narrow winding streets, and close to the town hall, which was once the castle, there is a weekly market and an antiques market on Saturday evenings. The beautiful beach just a few minutes walk away is nearly a mile long, with a modern marina at one end and the original fishing village at the other. There are excellent restaurants in the marina overlooking the harbour, and many more bars and restaurants along the promenade to the other end, all with outside eating areas. Enjoy tapas or a menu del dia or just a drink. On summer evenings you will find stalls selling jewellery, leather and more. Torredembarra is a Catalan resort where many families from Barcelona and inland towns have their second homes - you will hear very few English voices.
Unless you want to explore inland it is not necessary to hire a car as everything is nearby, and days out to Barcelona, Tarragona and Salou (Port Aventura) can all be done by train.

We had a lovely time, thank you -
The flat was just what we wanted and an ideal base for our family. We particularly enjoyed the friendly feeling within the old part of town and made the most of swimming in a warm sea!

Owner profile
About the owner
My husband Andrew and I live in a small village in Hampshire with our dog Harry a very large blonde labradoodle. We have between us three grown up children who live in London.
Year purchased: 1999
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I first got to know this part of Catalunya with its open and friendly people in the sixties when I was working here and when I bought the flat in the heart of Torredembarra it was as if I had never been away. Although the coastal strip is altered beyond recognition many areas remain unchanged and the people are as welcoming and friendly as ever.
Unique benefits of the property
The flat is very conveniently located. It is in the village centre, close to shops and restaurants yet only a few minutes walk to the beach. It is light and airy and the roof terrace is a real bonus. With transport links to Barcelona, Tarragona just a few minutes walk away there is no need to hire a car for every visit - a real plus when you just want a short break without a lot of expense. This is an area where people live and work and although there are many visitors in the summer, they are mostly Spanish. And unlike many places along the coast it continues to be a bustling community in the winter.
Our English key holder lives locally and if you need any help during your stay he will always be happy to assist.
