Salou

Salou is a tourist and residential city that has consolidated its capital role as the leisure and service centre of the Costa Dorada through the diversity of its offer and the quality and quantity of its tourism facilities.

Thus, on the one hand, it presents itself as a holiday destination and reference point, concentrating the majority of the basic tourism industry infrastructure in the Tarragona regions (74 lodging facilities) and acting as a main motor with regard to developing and capitalising on the diversity of the area's entertainment and cultural offer.

On the other, it is also home to the main agent for regional dynamism, the Costa Daurada's attraction par excellence: the Universal Mediterránea complex, which consolidates the Salou product and its sphere of influence as the most important leisure centre on the Catalonian seaboard and in the Mediterranean arc in general.

Mild year-round temperatures; safe, orderly and shallow beaches offering all services and equipment; hidden coves of great natural and scenic interest; an urban design plan that gives centre stage to green spaces, plants, design and the architecture of the landscape; points of historical, architectural and monumental interest.

A varied entertainment and leisure offer with highly dynamic sectors (shops and restaurants); and quality facilities have all helped to turn Salou into the "Capital of the Costa Dorada" and to earn it the top rating for Family Tourist Destinations in Catalonia.

Salou has a good selection of souvenir and fashion stores, but for true retail therapy it's worth hopping on the train to Barcelona (40 mins) where you can find all the major spanish and international retail brands such as Mango, Zara, Diesel and Ralph Lauren, as well as the famous department store El Corte Ingles. You can also find lots of smaller designer boutiques selling luxury clothing, shoes, accessories and jewellery items such as engagement rings and diamond wedding rings.
