хочу на "золотой песок" I want golden sand

We rested in Voramar Aparthotel 3 * from 12 to 22 June. Rested very well. I went, my husband and sister-in-law. We immediately chose this hotel due to the fact that the rooms are two-room. I know that if we were alone we would have chosen a different hotel. Although I don't regret anything. Liked almost EVERYTHING!! ! The hotel is located between Salou and Cambrils, across the road from the sea (about 30m). The beach is clean, wide and golden (Costa Daurado is translated as golden sand. And indeed it shimmers in the sun). The sea was cold (you can take a dip, but you don’t swim much. The view of the area is very beautiful. There is a footpath near the beach (for cyclists and walks).
Hotel: The hotel is small but cozy. Approximately 80% Spaniards, 10% Russians, 10% others (Italians, French). Rooms throughout the hotel are two-room, consist of a bedroom and a hall. The hall has a kitchen corner (electric stove, refrigerator, extractor hood, sink), which has all the utensils (spoons, forks, knives and even a saucepan, though there is no kettle). The furniture is not great, but decent. Plumbing is in excellent condition (minus that hot water changes temperature - then it runs cold, then boiling water). There is a safe, but paid -3.8 euros per day + deposit 10 euros. The food is good, there is ice cream (though not Baskin Robins, but edible) and fruits (apples, pears, bananas, oranges, melons, watermelons, pineapples, and cherries) and seafood, and meat, potatoes, etc.
The only negative is the reception, who does not speak Russian (or Spanish or English). But it is better to ask the guide at the hotel for all the information (who practically does not happen there at the TEZ TOUR !!! ). In the evening there are show programs in Spanish.

Phone: we called to Russia via a goodline SIM card for about $0.7 per minute including dialing. But you can call through a pay phone (located across the road) for about 0.25 euros for a minute (this was told to us by the guide who brought us back to the airport).
Excursions: we went on excursions - I really liked it (like someone once said “Spain is a country where you don’t have to lie, but look”).
Mount Montserrat is super, unusual (can only be compared with Lake Rizza in Abkhazia).
Barcelona Sightseeing - Well done Gaudi!
Barcelona Fountains and Barcelona Aquarium. SUPER! ! !
Honestly, you can run to the Aquarium yourself when you are on the observation deck in Barcelona (on the main street "La Rambla" right past the Columbus monument, across the bridge and to the left and you are in the Aquarium). This will take you 1 hour. And I recommend taking a separate excursion to the fountains, then you will look and listen to all the parts. I also recommend buying the book "Barcelona - the city of Gaudí " for about 10 euros. It shows all of Barcelona from a bird's eye view and you will immediately find out where to go in your free 3-4 hours. As for souvenirs, prices are about the same everywhere (2-3 euros for a magnet made in China), branded Catalan products are made from clay.
We also went to PortAventura. These are "terribly" cool wheelchairs. Bought at the reception at Hesperia Centrion (a hotel across the street from Voramar because there is a Russian-speaking girl) for 44 euros - the price for one person for 2 days (the price is the same for everyone and everywhere) this year the park is 15 years old. But to get there, you need to take the Bus Plana bus (stop at Hesperia Centrion) the price is 3 euros per person one way, about 1 euro on a travel card. On a travel card, you can drive anywhere along the Costa Dourado (Reus, Tarragona, Salou, La Pineda) for just 1 euro. To buy a travel card, you need to walk about 30 minutes to the Augustus Hotel, there will be a Bas Plana store. The ticket costs €10 for 10 trips, €20 for 20 trips, etc. You can top up your card (i. e. travel card) in Tabaks.

We also just went to Reus (Gaudi's hometown), well, along with shopping. It was Sunday, and then a bummer (I want to inform you that the Spaniards often rest with them all sorts of siesta and fiestas, Sunday is a day off, and Saturday is half a day of work). Okay, let's go and Monday, as a result, there is nothing to do in Reus !! ! Better in Tarragona! At least there are architectural monuments!
I also want to inform you that alcohol can be exported from Spain as much as your heart desires (warning: some cities, for example Ufa, Moscow and....additionally in Russia, checks suitcases and pulls out the difference between bottles brought in and allowed at customs). In Michelangelo's shop (near Augustos) you can buy alcohol cheaper than in duty free. You can also buy chocolate, coffee and, of course, olive oil there (the best is extra vijin). And in Spain you can buy cool jeans, which in Russia are 4 times more expensive. Sales in Spain start from mid-July (for shoppers).
In the end, we had a great time!! ! Well, the hotel is designed for families with older children or couples with exp. (nephews, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers). Even when leaving, it was a pity to leave the hotel and Spain. We were the only ones who loved it!
We liked a lot. Want to come back again!! !
