Salou area

Salou has become one of the main tourist areas of Costa Dorada, with over 2 million visitors a year attracted to its hot, golden Mediterranean beaches. Salou has become a popular family resort due to the safe nature of it’s shallow watered beaches, friendly locals, Port Aventura theme park and entertainment facilites.
The popularity of Salou as a holiday resort is largely built on its superb beaches. The coastline of Salou has 8 main beaches, each with fine golden sand and inviting shallow waters due to the long beach and slow tide. The beaches themselves are quite varied, some beaches consisting of long plains of sand, some mixing with the beachfront hotels and bars, while others have coved areas sheltered with pine trees giving a more intimate feel. The Ponent Beach joins with neighbouring resort Cambrils, while Llevant beach, the largest in Salou, has specially designated areas in the summer for sporting activities. Capellans Beach is quite small but a very attractive open beach, while Llenguadets and Llarga beaches are littered with small coves and are shielded by pine trees. Penya-Tallada, Cala de la Font and Cala Crancs beaches are all quite small but have a very tranquil atmosphere.
Shoppers in Salou are spoilt for choice when it comes to places to spend. Shopkeepers in Salou pride themselves on providing a good friendly service. While Salou as a whole has many areas to buy, the Old Town area contains many shops that are as old as Salou has been a holiday resort. The Jaume I Promenade and Major Street areas are more modern shopping areas, containing many restaurants and terrace cafes underneath a canopy of palm trees. The main shopping area for many locals is the Municipal Market area, containing many year-round businesses including food shops, fashion boutiques and restaurants. The weekly market here is a good chance to see what traditional Salou has to offer.
Salou has many activities for both children and grown ups. Port Aventura theme park, owned by Universal, is a fantastic modern theme park built around the basis of five worlds, with rides to match the theme of each world. The park also has 25 live shows a day as well as restaurants and bars. Salou also has two waterparks, Aquaopolis and Aqualeon. While both are filled with the slides and pools you would expect from a waterpark, Aqualeon also has a zoo with a large selection of animals. Many hotels and bars in Salou will provide entertainment throughout the day and night for both adults and children, while the beaches play host to many sporting activities and water sports, the surrounding streets provide play parks and terrace cafes, and at night a selection of clubs and bars light the pavements.
Salou, like many other meditteranean towns, has a rich cultural history. While it doesn’t portray as strong a cultural heritage as neighbouring villages Tarragona and Reus, Salou has its own subtleties, the modern buildings built as tourism expands in the town blend with the classical styled older buildings. The Church of Santa María del Mar was built in 1766, consisting of a church with a walled belfry and single bell, it was mainly used by seafaring folk. It was extended early in the 20 th century to its present form.
Local food in Salou is mainly catalan dishes, many of which are based on fresh fish caught in the local clear waters, but also consists of traditional Spanish dishes such as paella. Plenty of restaurants and hotels in Salou will serve more traditional foods alongside the more British tasting fast-foods such as burgers, pizzas and hot dogs.

Guestbook

"We visited the Salou apartment first week in October. It was the first time we had booked an apartment and the first time we had not gone through a tour operator, so I was abit worried something would go wrong. Fortunately Ann and Peters information about the apartments and the follow-up phone calls provided all the help we needed to ensure a perfect holiday. Apartments and surrounding areas were lovely, couldn't have asked for anymore. Thank you very much for all your help and hopefully it won't be long before we return.
Vicky, Jay and family."
August 2008
Had a wonderful week in Salou in August 08. Apartment absolutely spotless with all mod cons that make you feel totally at home. Location was wonderful as walking distance from theme park and walking distance to beach and nightlife. Facilities in complex great. Lovely outdoor pool with lifeguards and indoor pool, sauna, spa, gym etc. The owners ensure there is plenty of documentation and guides for both the apartment and local amenities. I would thoroughly recommend Salou and certainly recommend the apartment complex and owners. Jackie & family, Colchester

The apartment was very comfortable, lots of room and the two balconies were a bonus. The indoor pool and other facilities were great. Great location, easy access to Port Aventura, walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Would highly recommend the apartment for families wanting a break in the Salou area.

A group of 6 of us stayed in the apartment for 4 days this month. On arrival the apartment was very clean and spacious. Fab pools. The complex is situated ideally with the bars and town just a short walk away. We would highly recommend this apartment and definitely use it again. The owners of the apartment are also very helpful. Steph and Co.

Loved the apartment, beautiful complex and very handy for Port Aventura, which we walked to every other day. Kids enjoyed it very much. Excellent pools with lovely landscaped gardens/lawns. Apartment is really well equipped. The holiday and apartment were all we had hoped for, thanks for having us and if we plan a return to Salou we will definitely be giving you a call. Fiona and Richard, West Lothian.
