The apartment building is right on the seafront. You don't have to cross any road to get to the beach. In the courtyard of the building there are showers to wash off the sand. From the balcony there is a sea view. It's got a living room, a separate kitchen and three bedrooms. Please note that this is not a hotel or an apartment that is run as a business. It's our place, we come for holidays and to visit family in the area. We spend at least a month here every summer and we love it - we hope you will too. Other family and friends often use it too - that's why it's not always available. It's got our beach toys etc. in, all of which you are welcome to borrow. Unfortunately we have not yet managed to set things up to have automatic check-in; you will have to specify a more or less precise time of arrival so that either the cleaning ladies or our relations who live nearby can give you the keys. Hopefully this will change soon.

Gulliver is English but has lived in Ukraine for 12 years. Marichka is Ukrainian. We're both news reporters... So in Ukraine we have a lot of work at the moment. Between us we speak English, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, Polish and Italian. We don't speak Catalan, sorry.

Sant Salvador is a comparatively quieter and more charming section of the Costa Daurada, which is built-up and developed for holidaymaking almost without interruption from Tarragona to Barcelona. In addition to the apartment buildings there is a lot of interesting architecture along the seafront - charming old cottages and villas, and hotels, and right next door, the house that the famous Cellist Pau Casals had built for himself, which is now a museum. About five minutes' walk away, between us and Calafell, is a rare wild bit of coast. In the other direction there is Coma Ruga with its port and opportunities to rent all kinds of boats. The nearest train station, Sant Vicenc de Calders (25min walk) is a major junction with connections to various destinations including Tarragona, Barcelona, Manresa and Lleida.
