Destination

On its own merits, Salou has become one of the main tourist centres on the Costa Dorada. Along its extensive coast, protected by Cape Salou, miles of sandy, beautiful beaches and coves with fine sand give way to one another, enjoying an exceptional climate and offering infinite possibilities for enjoying the sea and for all kinds of water sports. The long Paseo de Les Palmeres is one of this town's most symbolic places, where leisure and fun are guaranteed. Salou's surroundings enable you to discover lovely landscapes or spend an unforgettable day at Port Aventura theme park, one of the largest in Spain.

When night falls, Salou concentrates a lively nightlife in and around this point, divided between its many terraces, bars, restaurants and discotheques.

Discover Salou

The Paseo de Les Palmeres, which runs parallel to the symbolic Llevant beach, is the town's main street. This long avenue - the main meeting place for the town's residents as well as for outsiders - brings together some of the principal tourist complexes. Along this busy walkway, lovely examples of Modernist architecture draw your attention, like the tower of Cal Bonet, and the monument erected in remembrance of King Jaime I, who chose the coast of Salou to set off for the conquest of Mallorca in the Middle Ages.

The stars of the local cuisine are the excellent fish and shellfish from the coast. So, the crustaceans from Cambrils and the langoustines from San Carlos de la Rápita enjoy fame and recognition. Romesco sauce (made with dried red peppers, tomatoes and almonds) serves to accompany both the vegetables from inland and the fish. Meanwhile, the province's extensive vineyards give rise to five interesting denominations of origin: Conca de Barberá, Penedés, Priorato and Terra Alta.
