Cambrils harbor

Cambrils, Passeig Maritim

The main industry is tourism . The harbor is mainly used as a sport boat harbor, but there is still a small fishing fleet that comes in at around 4 p.m. on weekdays. The sorting of the catch can be observed directly in the port.

The traditional local gastronomy is based on Mediterranean cuisine, rounded off by wines from the Priorat , Penedès , Tarragona , Montsant and Terra Alta growing areas .

The closest places of cultural importance are:

• Tarragona ( UNESCO World Heritage Site ),
• Montblanc with its medieval town center,
• the Poblet monastery on the Cistercian route Ruta del Cister ,
• Reus , the cradle of Modernisme (the Catalan Art Nouveau). This area served as a source of inspiration for artists such as Gaudí , Miró , Picasso and many others.
• Mont-roig del Camp , home of the Joan Miró family, where the old town can be visited next to the art center.
