Hola, Spain!
Thanks to all those tourists who speak out about their vacation, take an active part in discussions on forums, in short, in every possible way to share their invaluable experience. I hope that my humble story will be useful to someone!
This time my husband and I decided to stop at Spanish, Costa Daurada . We went for 8 days, with Natalie Tours. I must say that I can not speak sharply sharply against the operator, the impression is left ambiguous, from my story you'll understand why.
Good rest - the handiwork of the vacationer!
You and your husband active travelers, and therefore initially decided to rent a car, therefore, to abandon trips offered by Natalie (I speak directly to our preliminary calculations, the price of tour operator clearly overstated).
The hotel we took Las Vegas (for reviews, he was one of the "in spite of the fact that 3 *), and no mistake!
location.
Located in the heart of the spa (to a greater extent Youth) town of Salou. In general, the town is very nice, there are many small restaurants, shops, the collapse of any suvenirkoy. The active life of the inhabitants of the city starts after 19.00. The streets are filled with tourists (mean age - 20-21 years). The contingent is quite young, so the night discos, bars, gaming halls do not close until late at night.
Rooms at the hotel are small but very uyutnenkie: bed, bedside tables, chairs, a hallway closet, TV set (Russian channel not) and telephone. Cleaned every other day. On the balcony rooms, plastic chairs and table. In the bathroom: dryer, direct bidet, a shampoo, body wash, comb, soap. Mini-fridge, safe in the room is, the cost of renting the first 25 in a week, the second 15 euros. Remote from TV - 15 euro deposit. In short, modestly but tastefully.
Incidentally, the hotel has video surveillance cameras (not only in comfort but also on the floor). There is a bar and restaurant. At the reception there is no Russian-speaking managers.

At dinner - a choice of poultry, fish, meat, plenty of salads, olives, potatoes, at least in two versions (French fries, fried or mashed), the mass of all kinds of snacks. To power There were no comments, except that on the day of our departure for breakfast near the coffee machine instead of sugar put salt (apparently decided to give us something to spoil a good holiday, not work!

pool, the beach
Pool at the hotel is small but very clean, there is also a small swimming pool with Jacuzzi. There are free sunbeds. The beach near the hotel (walk 5 minutes). In the morning the sea is very clean, even visible to the fish, but by noon on the beach, no room to swing a cat in the water there are catamarans, sail all sorts of seaweed. On the beach you can rent a lounger - 3 euros per day (before 18.00).
about car hire.
Take a car rental in La Pineda - there were three Russian car rental. We went to Andorra (from Salou 3:00 with an average speed of 120 km/h). Note that for entry into France and back to Spain you need not single entry, and multi, ie multiple. This point should discuss in advance with your tour operator: you need to warn them that you plan to travel from Spain to France, then they will execute multi. My husband and I did not know this, and on top also eager to visit France (or at least catch the edge). As a result, we do not have to risk a trip to Andorra is excellent: had a great time in Caldea (complex with thermal baths), soveshili buying and safely returned to the hotel.
During the trip, we visited almost all the tourist places (describe all does not make sense: to write, rewrite!). But I can not tell about the corrida in Barcelona. Went there alone on the train from Salou to Barcelona,
