Further Information:
The beautiful beach front promenade along the main beach of Playa Llevant is a 10 minute stroll from the apartment. There you will find beach side bars and restaurants with stunning sea views. Playa Llevant stretches from the Fountain along to the Harbour of Salou. The promenade (or El Paseo), is one of the best in Spain and is perfect for leisurely evening strolls. The Fountains have a fantastic light and water show which is best seen after dark.
There are a choice of three interesting and challenging golf courses within easy reach of Salou. The Aiques Verde at Reus, Tarragona Golf Course and the Bonmont Club de Golf, which is the home of the Catalan Open and a championship course.
Things to do:
The area surrounding Salou is a sightseers paradise with the fabulous city of Barcelona only just over one hour by train or car. Take a visit to one of the famous buildings designed by Gaudi, visit the zoo or sea life centre, take a tour around the Nou Camp, home to Barcelona FC or simply do some shopping on Las Ramblas. An excellent way to sightsee if you have limited time is to take one of the tour buses.
The ancient Roman town of Tarragona still has some fantastic Roman remains and museums. A lovely cathedral (with Sunday flea market in the plaza and surrounding streets) and lots of shops, bars and restaurants.
A trip inland and you are in spectacular countryside with views at every turn. Village restaurants serve fantastic local cuisine at prices well below that of the UK. The area is also famous for Priorat wine, a close relation to the more well known Rioja but by some considered to be much better. So a trip around the bodegas and local vineyards would make an interesting day out. For the more energetic there is walking, mountain climbing, mountain biking, horse riding or canoeing to name but a few things to do.
