El Vendrell: Culture, Coast and Holiday Apartments
The summer house that Pau Casals had built on Sant Salvador beach in the municipality of El Vendrell is home to the Museu Pau Casals. The Museu Pau Casals offers a regular programme of activities and exhibitions for all audiences throughout the year. The cultural offering is therefore not limited to a single season, but includes regular events and exhibitions throughout the year.
Culture
The Casa Museu Àngel Guimerà offers a tour through the playwright’s life and work on the ground floor, first floor and in a new adjoining space. The cultural route through the historic centre of El Vendrell leads to stories about Iberians, feudal lords and pirates. Another cultural route in El Vendrell explores the connections between Pau Casals and his home town. Those interested in local history, notable figures and historical narratives will find these themes both in the museums and along the cultural routes.
Coast and Nature
The coast of El Vendrell is approximately seven kilometres long, low-lying and straight, and consists of fine-sand beaches. The beaches of the coastal districts of Sant Salvador, Coma-ruga and El Francàs are among the main attractions of the municipality of El Vendrell. The beaches of El Vendrell are suitable for water sports.
Les Madrigueres is a coastal wetland of approximately 30 hectares in the coastal district of Sant Salvador in El Vendrell. The area includes sandy beaches and dunes, coastal lagoons with reed beds and rushes, Mediterranean scrubland and maquis with holm oaks. Les Madrigueres has concrete walkways for people with reduced mobility.
The Reserva Marina de la Masía Blanca was established to protect exceptional rocky seabeds in an area characterised by sand and mud. The marine reserve lies off the beaches of El Vendrell and near the port of Coma-ruga. In Coma-ruga, spring water flows into the Estany. The Riuet flows into the sea at the beach; people of all ages swim in the Riuet throughout the year.
Gastronomy
Coca enramada is considered a typical and exclusive dish in El Vendrell. The Xatonada Popular is a gastronomic event held on the Rambla del Vendrell, where xató is sampled; it takes place on the first Sunday in March. In addition to the cultural attractions, the local offering therefore includes a local speciality and a specific gastronomic event date.
