Tarragona Province towns Cunit and Riudecanyes highlighted for tourism and historic quirks

Cunit, a coastal municipality on the Costa Daurada, offers a two‑kilometre fine‑sand beach framed by seven stone breakwaters, a flat 2.5 km bike path linking to Segur de Calafell, and a medieval old town with the 12th‑century Church of San Cristóbal. The town blends fishing‑village heritage with vineyards and pine‑scented mornings, making it a quiet alternative to busier seaside resorts.

Riudecanyes, also in Tarragona, is noted for its street‑naming tradition: every street bears a day of the week except Thursday, a practice dating back to the 15th‑century Corpus Christi celebrations when Thursday was reserved for a town‑wide procession. The municipality features the Castle‑Monastery of Sant Miquel d'Escornalbou, the parish church of Sant Mateu, and a nearby reservoir, reflecting its historic agricultural and religious roots.
