La Pineda is a small resort town located between the lively resort of Salou and Tarragona, the oldest city in Spain, founded during the Roman period.
Among most of the resorts in Catalonia, La Pineda is famous for its calm and romantic atmosphere, thanks to which this place has become popular with families vacationing with children, as well as young couples.
Here you will not find noisy crowds of tourists on the streets, and you can fully enjoy the silence and beauty of nature. The surroundings of La Pineda are famous for their lush Mediterranean vegetation. The city is literally drowning in the greenery of fragrant pine trees with a characteristic flat spreading crown.
The name of the city comes from the Spanish "pino", which means "pine". Almost the entire coast of the resort, which is about three kilometers long, is planted with coniferous trees.
The coastline is flat and long, without rocky coves and cliffs. The beaches of La Pineda are one of the main attractions of the Barcelona area. Anyone who has been to La Pineda knows about the cleanliness and tidiness of the local beaches, which have been awarded the Blue Flag.
