Averages for Costa Dorada in October

October heralds the coming of winter at the drop of the average daily temperature to 20⁰ C.  The nights too are becoming longer with the days having only an average of 10 hours of sunshine.  The temperature can still get to a hot 24⁰ C making Costa Dorada still a warm winter playground for tourists. 

Tarragona plays host to the biennial castell (human tower) competition where the best human tower groups execute their most elaborate and difficult exhibitions in a bullring in front of thousands of spectators. 

Strolling and sightseeing throughout the regions of Catalonia would be a great way to spend your vacation in Costa Dorada.  The towns are accessible and the weather is cooperative with moderate temperatures throughout the month.  First stop is Salou's House of Illusion which is pure entertainment at its finest.  Upon entering the premises, waiters and waitresses will ply you with drinks and make sure that you are comfortably seated.  The House will regale you with fabulous magic tricks involving cards, ropes, coins and live mind reading.  

Watching movies during a vacation will never be a dull activity if you do it in an exotic place such as Sitges.  Every October the Sitges International Film Festival is held with horror and fantasy as the genre. Local and Asian filmmakers will showcase their creations in cinemas along with classic horror legends. Undergo a complete makeover by having professional makeup artists make you into a true to life zombie and participate in the annual Zombie Walk.

The H10 Europa Park Hotel is an ideal hotel for a wanderer because of its location.  It is 10 km away from Tarragona and Reus Airport, 400 meters away from the beach and less than 1km away from Port Aventura Water Park.  Best of all, it comes at a cheap price of £27 a night.
