Cambrils
A dynamic fishing village turned important tourist spot, retaining the charm of a seaside locality with leisure activities centred on the port.
Living in Cambrils
Cambrils is a Costa Daurada resort of 37,000 that began as a fishing village and still lands its own catch, with a working port giving onto a long sandy beach and seafront promenade. It's a settled, international place: around three-quarters Spanish-born, with Moroccan, Argentine and Colombian communities and a steady northern-European contingent of British, German and Dutch. The climate is easy Mediterranean, summers around 30°C and mild winters near 12°C. Reus is a quarter-hour inland with its airport under fifty minutes, and a hospital is about half an hour away.

Numbers: Spainability town dataset, derived from INE, AEMET, Mitma and the Catastro. Registered long-let rent is SERPAVI declared-contract data; its p25–p75 values show the observed band. Registered-rent yield is gross, excludes costs and is never imputed. Percentile chips count only the municipalities that report the figure — the "of n" says how many. Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
