Origin
The origin of Yellow Day goes back to a global movement that emerged in the 1990s. It was created by a group of people who wanted to counteract the negativism and sadness that often prevails in modern society. Inspired by the colour yellow, which is associated with sunshine and happiness, they decided to dedicate an entire day to promoting joy and positivity.
During this day, people are encouraged to wear yellow, the emblematic colour of this celebration. The streets of Costa Dorada, Barcelona and Costa Brava are filled with people in a vibrant and festive atmosphere. The main purpose is to remember the importance of being positive and grateful in life. It encourages us to look for happiness in the simple things, to appreciate the small everyday joys and to be kind to others.
Yellow Day, although not a widely recognised celebration, has gained popularity in many countries, with more and more people joining the celebration every year. Through social media and other online platforms, the community has managed to spread its message globally, inspiring people everywhere to embrace joy and optimism in their lives.
One of the best ideas to celebrate this day is to make a plan that breaks the daily routine so you can disconnect and relax in the towns of Costa Brava, Costa Dorada and Barcelona. Here are some ideas so that you can celebrate Yellow Day in a unique way and in your own way.
A day at the beach
Any area of Catalonia is ideal for an amazing day at the beach with friends, family or yourself. Especially, the Costa Dorada area, with its endless beaches of golden sand and crystal clear waters, will help you to disconnect from the routine and relax while you listen to the sound of the waves. Thanks to Reus airport, you can easily travel to any town in this region with Shuttle2Sun.
Some of the beaches we recommend are Playa de Llevant and Cala Crancs, located in the tourist town of Salou. Playa de Llevant stretches for just over a kilometre along the seafront promenade, making it one of the largest beaches in Salou. Around it, you can find numerous shops, restaurants and bars to complement your day at the beach with other leisure activities. Cala Crancs is a small cove ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving thanks to its crystal clear waters. It has a much more relaxing atmosphere and you have the possibility of renting a deckchair or hammock to enjoy the sun in peace and quiet.
In the town of Tarragona you can also find incredible beaches, such as Platja Arrabassada or Platja del Miracle, so if you are planning to visit the city, these are the two most popular beaches in the capital of Tarragonès. Further north, you can also find less crowded beaches such as Altafulla beach or Playa de la Paella in Torredembarra. If these places are part of your plans, you have the AVE Camp de Tarragona train station so you can travel to them.
Outdoor excursions
Are you looking for something outdoors to walk and enjoy the magnificent views of the Mediterranean coast? If so, we recommend Costa Brava. Here, you can find incredible towns such as Roses, Blanes, Lloret de Mar, Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Platja d’Aro, among many others. Most of these towns have hiking trails located right next to the sea that connect different towns, they are called Caminos de Ronda. Some of the most popular of these Caminos de Ronda are the one that goes from the town of Begur to Sa Riera beach, the one from Tossa de Mar to Sant Feliu de Guíxols and the one from S’Agaró to Platja d’Aro. Moreover, thanks to Girona airport, it will be very easy for you to travel with Shuttle2Sun services.
Spend a day in Barcelona
Spending a whole day in the city of Barcelona can be a great idea to celebrate this Yellow Day. The Catalan capital has plenty of plans and offers, we leave you some ideas. You can visit the most emblematic places in Barcelona such as La Rambla, Parc Güell, Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló. If you arrive in the city via Barcelona Airport or Barcelona Port, you can get to the city centre with Shuttle2Sun in just 25 minutes.
The city also boasts world-renowned and award-winning restaurants of exquisite quality. Some of them are Disfrutar, Els Pescadors and Dos Palillos. We recommend making a reservation in advance, as these are restaurants with a high demand of people waiting to enjoy their cuisine.
Finally, you can stroll and discover Paseo de Gracia, one of Barcelona’s most famous and emblematic neighbourhoods. Just 20 minutes from Barcelona airport, you will be able to see some impressive buildings.
