Guests are welcome to come and ask for anything or equally welcome to stay at their end of the property where the swimming pool is located, coming and going via their own entrance and using the pool as they please.

Neighbourhood description
Clean long beaches, mountains and restaurants. The nearby Platja Llarga recently voted the third best beach in the world. Unspoilt, with plenty of parking, kilometres of golden sand and beach bars/restaurants. Pretty local Catalan villages of Els Pallaresos and El Catllar. Supermarket, shops, bakery all within walking distance of the apartment, which is situated off the main road to the Santes Creus monastery. Tarragona city is a ten minute drive away on A-roads. The local village of Els Pallaresos has an excellent well priced traditional style restaurant and new burger bar. Jujol, the famed local architect designed a modernist country house in the village, where a famous Hollywood actor has been spotted!

Transport
It is best to bring your own car or hire one to get the most out of the area. The AVE high speed train linking Barcelona and Madrid runs a few km away from the property; with one of the few intermediate stops on the fast line found in the nearby village of Perafort. Both free surface level and reasonably priced multi-storey secure parking is available. Reus and Barcelona are the nearest airports. Barcelona centre/Sants station is 35-40 minutes on the fast train or an easy drive. The airports are by car as follows, Barcelona approximately 60 minutes by motorway, Reus circa 20 minutes, Girona one hour and 50 minutes. Lleida airport has recently been upgraded and now also boasts international flights, located around an hour from the property.

Other things to note
Tarragona is a beautiful old Roman town, which has been well preserved. It features lively bars and decent restaurants. The beaches are plentiful and well looked after. Recently the former commercial port has been modified for super yachts and provides an interesting area to walk around in the day or evening, with restaurants and bars. There is free parking for up to an hour for non diners and deals for those eating in the port area who wish to park for longer. There are lots of snow sports options in winter towards and within the Pyrenees. Climbing and rafting have become popular in the more local mountain ranges. Around 30-45 minutes drive by car. Wine tours are particularly appealing in the nearby Priorat, Montsant and Penedes - the home of Cava. The Cava producers in the town of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, such as Codorniu and Freixenet, offer regular daily wine tours for a small fee which usually includes a tasting. Other days out include visits to Montserrat, a mountain with volcanic form which is home to a well known historic monastery. Here can be found plenty of paid for parking and reasonably priced local cuisine. The Ebro Delta is a drive south and features unspoilt beaches and lots of wildlife, including flamingos and Audouin Gulls. For thrill seekers the well known Port Aventura theme park is a 20 minute drive away, along with a large separate water park and the recently opened Ferrari Land theme park.
