El Vendrell Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
El Vendrell
The home town of Pau Casals, the famous cellist, and an important stop on the xató route. Get your taste buds ready to enjoy your holiday in El Vendrell.

El Vendrell is a town in the province of Tarragona that owes its fame to its strategic location, thanks to its maritime district, Sant Salvador, and its blue-flag beaches that span more than 4 miles. It’s also the home of the famous xató, a dish that is very typical in the region, consisting of a salad accompanied with a sauce made from almonds and hazelnuts.

If you're looking for a culture-packed holiday by the sea, then our deals on cheap trips to El Vendrell are for you. This town is made up of several urban centres: the Old Quarter (El Vendrell proper), Sant Salvador, the coastal town of Coma-ruga and Sant Vicenç de Calders. Next to the beach of Coma-ruga, you’ll find the marine reserve of Masia Blanca, with its rich biodiversity, and Deu de l’Estany i Riuet, a spring with therapeutic properties.

Remember also that this is the home town of the illustrious cellist Pau Casals, so you’ll definitely want to visit the house where he was born. Top off your visit with a trip to the Àngel Guimerà Museum-Home, which is where the writer lived when he first arrived in the town when he was just eight years old. But that’s not all! You won’t want to miss the Portal del Pardo room, the Deu Museum and the Archaeological Museum. Check out our package deals to El Vendrell for the best prices and explore the town’s Old Quarter.

El Vendrell is located 22 miles from Tarragona and about 19 miles from Reus airport, which is the nearest airport available. Barcelona airport is just over an hour away by train or bus. When you’re preparing your trip to El Vendrell, remember that the train is probably the best option for getting about. The Sant Vicenç de Calders station is served by local and regional trains, while the El Vendrell stop has local trains to Barcelona and Tarragona. If you wish to take the AVE high-speed train, the Camp de Tarragona station is about 30 minutes from the town.

Very nice hotel but no Rideshare available.
"Hotel was very nice. Front desk was always helpful. The only downside for us was no Rideshare available (Uber or Lyft) which turned out to be very expensive using the taxi service."

Amazing location
"the location is amazing and the main building and services most certainly 5*+ however, disappointing that there are a number of additional charges for parking etc. and you have to be a very special guest to sit on the front row by the sea, but they never seem to turn up."
