Share videoThe Costa Dorada/Tarragona region
Catalunya needs little introduction but has an enchanting blend of history, culture, gastronomy and beautiful coastline. Inland the main villages and towns are situated on the banks of the River Ebro, which offers a pace and quality of life that is rarely found in the UK any more. The river can be followed through the hills and valleys all the way to the delta. Where it is still possible to see wild pink flamingoes.
The nearest beach resort of L'Hospital de L'Infant is located just 30 minute drive away. It has a sand beach which gently slopes out to the sea and is ideal for children. There is a marina with fish restaurants on the quay side and various beach front shops. They hold a large Sunday morning market.
A 50 minute drive away is Port Aventura theme park and Caribe water park.
A 40 minute drive brings you to Bonmont golf club, where there is a Robert Trent Jones Jnr designed 18 hole golf course. 50 minutes drive brings you to the Portaventura golf club. Designed by Greg Norman.
The climate is better than Southern England with summers 10-12 degrees warmer.
The Mora d'Ebre / Mora La Nova area
Mora La Nova holds a traditional market which takes place on Wednesdays. Across the river is the town of Mora de Ebre where there are more shops and restaurants. This also holds a market on Friday.
We recommend hiring a car so you can use the villa as a base to tour the many rustic towns and villages which are renowned for their wines and picturesque views of the river Ebro.
A short distance by car and you can visit the medieval town of Miravet, with its templar Castle from the crusades perched on cliffs over the River Ebro. Miravet is also known for its large pottery workshop, which has to be visited to be believed.
For those artists amongst you, there is, as you can see from the photos, great painting opportunities from the grounds. We can also advise on other locations in picturesque villages and in the countryside.
In July the "Mora Morisca" takes place, where the Town is transformed back to the middle ages.
During August it is Festa Major, which includes racing traditional mullets on the river, pageant of the giants, foam party for the children, parade of the devils through the streets, (which includes a firework battle) and culminating in a firework extravaganza.
If you are looking for late nights/early mornings there are a couple of night clubs, which are within walking distance of the villa.

Reviews
 08 Sep 2011 |
We stayed at Finca Alesandra with our 3 children (12,14, 17) and my brother and his girlfirend. Villa perfectly suited to extended family with one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. We loved it, sitting watching the river was lovely, and so peaceful. Even witnessed a massive electrical storm over in the mountains one evening. The pool is a really good size, ideal for a bit of holiday excercise as well as fun! Lots of space to sit out, and the BBQ is great. The walk into Mora La Nova is a bit of a challenge in the heat, but worth the effort for the atmosphere in the bars. Enjoyed a lovely meal in the restaurant at the end of the track. Really appreciated the air conditioning, especially at night. And one member of the party caught a catfish! |
