Due to the strong wind and waves these days in January, the water of the Mediterranean Sea has stagnated in some parts of Calafell beach.

They are areas where water does not usually reach, which has caused these parts of the sandy area to be temporarily submerged, appearing to be small tide pools.

In La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos we can see how these small pools have become a place for games, jumping and, ultimately, for having a good time, too, in the company of our dog.

Calafell, in the Baix Penedès region, has around 25,000 inhabitants, which multiply in summer with the summer tourism of the Costa Daurada and the infrastructure of apartments and hotels. In winter you can enjoy the beach more peacefully.

The municipality of Calafell has three main areas, called Calafell, Segur de Calafell and La Playa de Calafell.
