Culture buffs should look to the town of El Vendrell which, for its size, has a surprisingly large number of museums. A good place to start is the small musical Pau Casals House Museum, the former home of the famous Catalonian cellist and conductor. Afterwards, you could drop into El Museu Deu, which was founded by the local notary who amassed an impressive collection of artwork dating back as far as the 12th century. Angel Guimera House Museum was where the famous playwright began creating his work and the Archaeology Museum tells the story of the region's past.
If you're looking for wine tasting, you've come to the right place. It's not hard to find the open doors of a winery close to your El Baix Penedes vacation rental. The landscape of vineyards also makes for wonderfully scenic biking and road cycling. More family adventures can be found along the coastal beaches, many of which stretch for several miles. Spend sunny days with your kids making castles in the sand, hitting the water on sea kayaks, or paddle boards, as well as drawing lines in the late afternoon for an impromptu game of family volleyball.
The summer months, like the rest of Spain, are the busiest times for El Baix Penedes vacation rentals, but the climate can often be a little sticky. In late spring, between May and June, the area has a much more agreeable climate and you can also immerse yourself in a ton of colorful festivities. If you don't mind even cooler weather and the odd downpour, then earlier spring and fall sees a drop in rental costs and you'll have far fewer travelers queuing up at the attractions or taking up room on the beaches.
If you want to get out into nature, you couldn't do better than the huge Ebro Delta, whose mix of freshwater and salt water lakes, miles of sand dunes and marshlands, provide a unique ecosystem not found anywhere else in Catalonia. It's protected land, which has allowed the wildlife to thrive, most notably, to the delight of birders the birdlife. This ornithological paradise is home to over 300 species like glossy ibis, various heron species and many, many ducks. It might surprise you, but there's also the odd pink flamingo to spot.
