Everyday the turquoise sea glittered, all sorts of boats bobbed about in the bay and we swam and snorkeled in the clearest waters I've ever seen. In the mornings we bought freshly baked croissants and warm baguettes to eat with thin mild cheese, smokey ham and fragrant tomatoes for breakfast.
When the heat of the day faded and night began to fall, we ate in super family run restaurants and feasted on baked squid, grilled sardines and astounding paella. Tamariu was such a bustling but relaxing place to be, full of Spanish families on their holidays, all ages together enjoying company, good food and wine. If my numbers ever come up on the lottery I'm going to make the owner of this beautiful villa an offer they can't refuse. There's even a pool overlooking the bay.
We stayed somewhere much more modest but perfect and right on the sea front where we watched the word go by, read books, admired the view and played a lot.
We explored the twisty turny coastline and discovered bays and coves perfect for relaxing that made you wish you could sail.
Mostly though we ate ice lollies, lolled around in the shade and dipped into the sea when it all got rather hot. Thankfully there's the most lovely sea breeze that stopped us all from frying.
We definitely re-discovered a little slice of heaven...think we'll be returning very soon.

It's a gorgeous place - had several holidays there when my children were your age (and since)
I meant when my children were the age of yours!
How pretty, don't recognize it all and I thought I knew Spain pretty well. We're off to Toledo later this year, our first trip to Spain in a while.
Oh Steph, it looks like utter bliss. The colour of the sea! So glad you had such a wonderful time.
Beautiful photo's of the Spanish seaside! It brought back lots of good memories. I have been to Tamariu once as a child. It was one of the best holidays!

Nothing can beat long lazy summer days spent in a beautiful place. Your photos are wonderful - you have captured the place and the mood perfectly. I always think the light abroad is so different to here everything feels really vibrant - I especially love the little red house with the balcony.
