Valls is situated in the municipality of Tarragona on the Costa Dorada in Eastern Spain, approximately 20-minutes inland from the coast. It is an historic town famous for its 'Human Towers', and is a fascinating area in which to buy Spanish property that is slightly removed from the areas of mass tourism, yet close enough to the Costa Dorada's golden sands.
The climate in Valls is a little more extreme than along the coast. During the summer temperatures regularly reach up to 35°c, while during the winter they can often come down to between 7°c - 10°c. The area though is blessed with over 300 days of sunshine each year.
The main tourist attraction in Valls is the town's tradition for building human towers / castles. It is an event that is very closely linked to Valls, originating from balancing acts in the 18th century. Today, events are still held in the town in honour of this famous tradition where 'builders' will balance like bricks on each other's shoulders and arms to make a human tower. Around the town monuments to these human towers can also be found.
Spanish property in Valls is ideal for those looking for an idyllic villa in Spain, whether for use as a second home or income property. For investors, the proximity of Valls to the major tourist resorts of Salou and Tarragona and the Universal Studios theme park makes the town a very attractive investment option. Valls property purchasing opportunities are only enhanced by the fact that international flights are now coming in direct to nearby Reus airport, so insuring that the value of Valls property is only going to move upwards.
