Golf

Spain is, of course, world famous for its golf courses, and while there are not as many in the Costa Daurada as in the south of the country, what they lack in numbers they make up for in quality. Just 5 minutes away from Tres Cales by car is Club de Golf Sant Jordi, a 9 hole course, while a 25 minute drive will get you to the impressive Bonmont Terres Noves club. A little further afield is Club de Golf Reus.

Fishing

The mighty river Ebro has long been the destination for those anglers wishing to catch large bags of carp but in recent years it has also become known as Europe’s most prolific producer of sizeable Wells Catfish. The average size of fish landed is some 69lb, which compares very favourably with the British rod caught record of 62lbs. In fact, fish well in excess of 100 lbs are caught almost on a daily basis, and in July 2005 a monster of 211lbs was caught and subsequently safely released! The river also holds large populations of zander, American black bass, chub and roach. www.fishing4catfish.com

For the sea fisherman, the local tackle shops are the best sources for advice on the local hotspots, baits, rigs etc.

Other Activities

The local tourist offices offer leaflets and advice on many other leisure pursuits such as walking and cycling routes, while other local activities include canoeing down the Ebro, quad biking and horse riding.
