SALOU
Coast Line of Salou
Cambrils to the SW and La Pineda to the NE merge with Salou itself to form one continuous resort some 10 mls long. It’s well kept and tidy, and – as its expansion dates back no further than the early 1980s – most buildings are modern in style. An elegant promenade lined with palm trees displays a monument to Jaime I, the Spanish king who sailed from Salou to conquer theBalearic Islands. Just outside the resort is Port Aventura, a full-blown theme park modelled onBuschGardens in Florida, featuring 5 themed areas (Polynesia, Mexico, China, the Wild West and theMediterranean). The exclusive Beach Club offers watersports, children’s areas and 7 swimming pools, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities. There is also a large, all-year-round water park with a Caribbean theme –Caribe Aquatic Park.

Port Of Salou

Salou is suitable for all age groups, with a wide variety of entertainment. Most popular with middle market families, particularly given the resort’s proximity to Port Aventura theme park. Something to suit everybody. British pubs, pizzerias, burgers, Chinese, Spanish tapas bars and quite a few very classy restaurants.There are very good hotels to stay.But the hotel which i will recommend is Hotel EuroSalou a 4* hotel.The Hotel Eurosalou, which has recently been refurbished, offers a good standard of hotel accommodation and services and is situated in a great location in Salou. The main beach, beach promenade and port area are within easy walking distance. In the immediate vicinity there are plenty of shops, cafes, bars, pubs ; restaurants and the central resort area where you will find even more nightlife is a short walk away.

Go on a holiday to Salou for 7-14 nights and you will rejuvinate yourself like never before.But there are few requiments if you are an Indian Passport Holder.You need to have a Schengen Visa from the Spanish embasy which is like cracking a hard nut.But once you get the visa there is no looking back… pack your back and here we fly to Costa Dorada.This is my first publication hope you all ghumakkar’s like it.Till next time Adios !!!
