The Costa Daurada is not just sun, sea, and nature — it’s also a land full of authentic flavours that can be discovered through the many gastronomic festivals held throughout the year. From Alas Hotel, located in l’Hospitalet de l’Infant, you can enjoy a getaway filled with taste and tradition, exploring the local products that define the region’s Mediterranean cuisine.

Spring food festivals: a date with flavour

The months of May and June are especially lively for food lovers. Towns like Cambrils, l’Ametlla de Mar, l’Hospitalet de l’Infant, and Tarragona host culinary festivals dedicated to seasonal products such as blue fish, galera shrimp, red prawns, and traditional seafood dishes like soupy rice or fish stew (suquet). During these festivals, many restaurants offer special menus that highlight local cuisine made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Typical products with designation of origin

The Costa Daurada is also home to excellent wines and olive oils. Just a short drive from Alas Hotel, you can visit wineries and olive mills with Protected Designations of Origin, such as DO Montsant, DOQ Priorat, or DOP Siurana. Many of them offer tastings and tours where you can learn how these liquid treasures of the region are made. You’ll also want to try local treats like coca de recapte (flatbread with roasted vegetables), carob-based sweets, and Reus hazelnuts, all part of the area’s rich culinary heritage.

Markets and food experiences

If you want to go beyond the plate, explore local markets like those in Cambrils or Tarragona, full of fresh, seasonal products. You can also join workshops and activities such as showcookings, wine-pairing tastings, or tapas routes. These experiences are perfect for couples, groups of friends, or families looking to discover the Costa Daurada through its flavours.

By staying at Alas Hotel, you’ll discover a Costa Daurada that delights all the senses. Let yourself be seduced by the landscape… and by the plate!
