Salou The Mediterranean town of Salou is the principal tourist resort of the Costa Dorada. One a sleepy fishing village it transformed its economy to focus on tourism in the 1960's.

Just outside Salou is the (Universal Studios owned) Universal Mediterranea complex; home to the Port Aventura theme park, Caribe Aquatic park & many other attractions. In recent years residential tourism has found its way to Salou. The result is an expanding international resident community. However the identity & traditions of the people that live here are still very much alive, & many fiestas take place throughout the town calendar. Local cuisine is another bonus, with affordable good food available everywhere, alongside middle to high end restaurants.
