Hi Mulder,

There are local Spanish travel agents that do Barcelona trips, or you could DIY and go on the train from Salou then use the Barcelona metro.
You can also get Port Aventura tickets from the travel agents too or just buy them 'on the door' (You would have to queue though).

I remember there was a travel agent near to the Hotel Calypso where I bought my tickets - that was 6 years ago though so things may have changed. I go on 19th June so if I find one I'll let you know.

Thanks Purple Star,

less then a week to go for you! How long are you there for?

Have you got any idea how much the trips are? And how much a day ticket to the theme park is?

I'm going for 2 weeks.

I can't remember how much the tickets cost, have you tried the Port Aventura website? (address below) I think it may be about 34/40 euros but I'm not sure. It's really good there tho!

Thanks for that

How much spending money would you recommend for 2 weeks in Salou, I have got room only so will be eating out for breakfast and dinner every day.

Sorry about all these questions

Hi,

Sorry to butt in here but I have been to Salou a few times and eating and drinking is expensive there compared to the likes of Benidorm etc. I would say that soft drinks and snacks are certainly more expensive than the UK so you will need quite a bit of cash if self catering.

Hi Cheesepasty,

you're welcome to join in, the more the merrier! I last went to Salou 6/7 years ago when we used pesetas, has it really gone up that much since the euro?

Mulder,
I'm going half board so I'm not sure how much money you would need for food, maybe about £250 per week between you both plus more money for spending on trips, shopping and booze! Where are you staying?

Hi Mulder, I'm going to be going for 2 weeks as well. Best thing to do is find one of those huge supermarkets really soon in the holiday and buy most of your food from there. Usually the little stores and shops in the towns are dead expensive compared to those. It's good to take the first couple of days to have a look around and find the cheapest places for food because theres nothing worse than finding them right at the end of your holiday!

Im staying at Calfornia Gardens. I heard it is full of russians and dutch? I think i will take about 100 pound day, so £1400 in total. I may even come home with change. That reminds me.....gota get my money changed up!

Hi Guys,

If I can, I will post on this topic when I am in Salou (When I'm not watching the England matches!)

I am going with my boyfriend and we will be flying our England flag with pride from the Delfin Park!
