Salou: where the Costa Dorada truly sparkles
Did you know Salou literally shines? It’s not just a saying, the Costa Dorada gets its name from the quartz and mica in its sand, glowing like gold under the sun. But Salou is far more than stunning beaches, it’s a destination full of history and postcard-perfect corners.
-
The sunset lighthouse: For that unforgettable holiday moment, stroll along the wooden path to the Salou Lighthouse. It’s the wildest stretch of coastline and the place where you’ll truly understand the magic behind every “sunset” escape.
-
Footsteps of kings and pirates: The same seafront you walk today once saw King Jaume I set sail to conquer Mallorca. Follow the Camino de Ronda and you’ll trace ancient paths used by fishermen, and the occasional smuggler, hiding among hidden coves.
-
More than adrenaline: Yes, PortAventura is just around the corner, but don’t miss the Luminous Fountain, a true work of art designed by the same visionary behind Barcelona’s iconic fountains.

Our insider tip: Take an afternoon trip to nearby Reus, just 15 minutes away. Birthplace of Gaudí, home to stunning modernist architecture and the temple of vermouth culture. Order one in Plaça del Mercadal and experience Salou like a local.
Salou isn’t just a destination… it’s a glow you’ll never forget.
PortAventura awaits you with excitement, adventure and plenty of adrenaline!
If you’ve never been, get ready: it’s not just a theme park, it’s Spain’s number one leisure destination and one of the best in Europe. Imagine a huge site on the Mediterranean shore where, as soon as you step through the gate, the real world disappears.
What makes it so special?
It’s like travelling the world in a day: it’s divided into themed areas that recreate with lavish detail places such as imperial China, Maya Mexico or the American Wild West. The theming is so impressive you’ll forget you’re in Tarragona!
Fun for every level: you don’t need to be an adrenaline junkie. There are breath‑taking roller coasters as well as gentle boat rides, magical children’s areas and top‑class shows (acrobatics, dance, fire...).
A perfect plan: it’s ideal for families (kids will be amazed), friends (laughter and screams guaranteed) or even couples looking for a different day out.
Which areas will you find?
The experience starts in Mediterrània, a charming Mediterranean fishing village that welcomes you to the park and where the adrenaline spikes with Furius Baco, an intense roller coaster capable of accelerating from 0 to 135 km/h in just three seconds.
From there, the route continues to Polynesia, a lush, tropical area full of exotic vegetation, home to Tutuki Splash, a fun water ride set in a volcano. In China, the grandeur of imperial China and the Himalayas form the backdrop for some of the park’s most iconic attractions, such as Dragon Khan, famous for its eight inversions, and Shambhala, an imposing roller coaster that has become a European benchmark.
Mexico transports visitors to a setting inspired by Maya culture and colonial Mexico, where Hurakan Condor challenges the bravest with a spectacular 100‑metre free fall. The journey continues in Far West, an authentic Wild West town called Penitence, where the classic wooden coaster Stampida coexists with the innovative Uncharted: El Enigma de Penitence.
To round off the experience, SésamoAventura offers a colourful, fun area designed for children, with family attractions like Street Mission, an interactive 3D adventure to enjoy together.
The park also features daily shows, themed dining and services such as the Express Pass, designed so you can make the most of every moment and enjoy your visit with total peace of mind.
