What can I see in Salou?

Walk of Les Palmeres: This walk is a long avenue called Paseo de Les Palmeres that runs parallel to Platja de Levant, which is one of the largest that we find in the place and which we will talk about later. This avenue usually serves as a meeting point for tourists and inhabitants of the area, since in its surroundings we find hotel complexes of all kinds, bars, shops, restaurants, nightclubs ... and everything you need for a time of relaxation or enjoyment . In the same avenue of Paseo de Les Palmeres we can also find architectural representations such as the Torre de Cal Bonet and the well-known monument of King Jaime I.

La Bonet House: The modernist style of the streets of Salou is already well known. Therefore, we should not be surprised that Casa Bonet is one of the most popular modern representations of the territory.

Located on the Paseo de Jaume I, the Casa Bonet is the maximum modern representation of Catalonia after the well-known works of Antonio Gaudí, of course. In fact, its architect Doménech Sugranyes is a disciple of the artist and it is what has served to see in his works influences more than appreciable in all his creations.

Casa Bonet was one of the first houses to be built within what is considered the Modern Salou. Inside we can see wall paintings that speak of the departure of Jaume I from the beaches of Salou towards his conquest of Majorca.

Lighthouse of Salou: If we want to talk about emblematic things in the Salou area, the Faro de Salou is one of the great candidates for it. This lighthouse is one of the most important on the Costa Dorada and is located at the tip of Cabo de Salou. Recognized and sought after by all tourists the Lighthouse of Salou is enclosed by a stone wall and is incredibly bright so much, that it guides the path to be drawn by the sailors.

These are some of the most important things you have to see in your visit to Salou because in addition to the beaches, it also makes up for knowing a little more about the history and work of the place and above all, see the classic contrast that some of its buildings have with the modernist touch of more current ones.

What are the best beaches in Salou?

Beach of Llarga: This popular beach of Salou has a path made expressly for her. Its spectacular promenade makes it very appealing. It is surrounded by pine trees all around and a lot of different vegetation that makes it a natural beach. It is far away from the most important tourist centers and this makes it very attractive for those people who seek tranquility and who want to be almost alone in Salou.

Cala Font: other very popular sand destinations in Salou are the coves from which stands out this well-known Cala Font which, taking 70 meters long is very visited by its impressive vegetation and by the street of Dunes that surrounds it.
