Salou is a place especially well-known to tourists from all over the world. The first ones arrived in the 19th century, and since then it has been a benchmark for European tourism. In recent years, it has positioned itself as a Family Tourism destination, a pioneer in Catalonia and even certified as such. Furthermore, the Catalan Tourist Board has also classified it as a Sports Tourism Destination.
Its seafront promenade is the epicenter of tourist activity and connects the port with the Illuminated Fountain. Further along, you can reach the coastal path, which hugs the cliffs and connects to Cap de Salou. Beyond the sea and sand, the town boasts wide streets, a botanical garden with dozens of varieties, and several historical monuments such as La Torre Vella, very close to the old train station.Just like in Cambrils, Salou has focused on good food and drink with #SalouFoodExperience, the common thread that links this Costa Dorada town with all kinds of gastronomic experiences.
It boasts a Michelin-starred restaurant and several establishments mentioned and recommended by leading foodie guides. Salou has nine beaches (two of which hold the Q for Quality flag awarded by the Spanish Institute for Tourism Quality) and several coves with fine sand, calm waters, and a wonderful climate, offering a multitude of leisure, sports, and entertainment opportunities. Respect for the environment is one of Salou's strengths, with all its beaches holding environmental certifications.
Creuers Costa Daurada has a fleet of large ships, catamarans, and speedboats to offer cruises and excursions along the Costa Dorada (Cambrils-Salou-La Pineda). They organize daily trips to discover the Mediterranean coastline and offer a fun and entertaining experience for the whole family.
