ALTAFULLA
About Altafulla
Altafulla is an ideal location for yoga retreats and activities related to nature: its slow and relaxed rhythm, the bright blue skies, Mediterranean sea, breathtaking coastal landscape, preserved forests, provide a perfect setting for both – connecting together and recharging inner resources.
Altafulla is a charming town on the Costa Dorada in the Tarragona province, Spain, and has a beautiful, intact historical center that is crowned by the medieval castle of Altafulla. Along the clean, sandy beach you will find an old fishing quarter dating back to the 18th century with charming small houses. In the village you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, and numerous restaurants and beach taverns.
Altafulla has a mild, mediterranean climate all year round with a lot of sunshine. The summer heat rarely reaches above 30 °C and there is always a pleasant sea breeze blowing. Apart from swimming in the sea, the area is especially inviting for cycling and hiking along the coastal pine forests.
Walking along the seashore, you reach another medieval castle, the Castle of Tamarit. It sits on a small promontory overlooking the sea. Beyond the Castle of Tamarit is one of the last remaining pine forests stretching along the sea in Catalonia, part of which is a small nature preserve.
