Highlights of Salou. It is the most visited of the holiday resorts on the Costa Dorada, with a clean, sandy coastline, which stretches far into the horizon. Salou is just 20 minutes from Reus Airport. Salou has become one of the main tourist areas of Costa Dorada, with over two million visitors a year attracted to its hot, golden Mediterranean beaches. Salou has become a popular family resort with its safe shallow waters, friendly locals, Port Aventura theme park and a great variety of entertainment facilities and attractions.

Culture Salou, like many other Mediterranean towns, has a rich cultural history. The modern buildings built as tourism expanded in the town blend with the classical styled older buildings.

It was extended early in the 20th century to its present form. Beaches The popularity of Salou as a holiday resort is largely built on its superb beaches. The coastline of Salou enjoys eight 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. The biggest draw away from the beach however is PortAventura theme park. It is famous for its thrill rides 'Dragon Khan' is a legendary white-knuckle roller coaster and some of the evening shows are breathtakingly spectacular.

However there is also plenty to do for youngsters with scaled-down versions of the big rides and lots of Universal Studios characters to meet. On a warm day bring your swimming costume as there is an excellent water park, Caribe Aquatic Park, on site separate admission.

Aquopolis is also home to a dolphin show.
