In Salou
Paseo Jaime I: 1km long with 365 palm trees, the same as the days of the year, is the Costa Dorada’s par excellence promenade. Here you will find many play zones for kids as well as water game areas, cybernetic fountains (among which we would highlight the Lighted Fountain) with water, light and sound shows. Moreover, throughout the season, there are many cultural events, shows, performances for all publics. A stroll by the sea that will not leave you indifferent.
Salou’s coastal route: this trail joins the Pilons area (at the end of the promenade) with the Salou Lighthouse located in Cape Salou. An incredible walk, skirting the coast, adapted for all publics, in which you will discover amazing spots along the Salou coast. And if you dare to, you can continue the trail walking or cycling along the coast to neighbouring Cambrils 6km away!
The surroundings
Roman Tarraco: Do you want to travel back in time and live a day in the purist Roman style? In Tarragona, just 10km from Salou, you can make this dream come true. Tarraco, as the ancient Romans called it, was an extremely important Roman settlement in the Peninsula during the Roman Empire. And the ruins, perfectly preserved, show this. It is therefore not surprising that the UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site in the year 2000. Don’t miss the guided visits offered by the Tarragona Tourist Board or Tarragona’s National Archaeological Museum with very interesting archaeological remains full of history and anecdotes. Ah! And during the month of May you will be able to experience this in a much more intensive way thanks to the Tarraco Viva Festival. Your kids will love it¡

Just like Barcelona, there are many modernist buildings that are well worth visiting given their great beauty. Reus City Hall proposes interesting guided visits to discover these modernist enclaves, culminating in a visit to the Gaudi Centre, completely dedicated to modernism and the figure of Gaudí.
