:wave: hi this will be our 6th time there. there is quite a lot to do and see. portaventura and caribe waterpark. aquapolis at la pineda. the lovely beach and also the beach at cambrils is lovely. cambrils with it's marina and seafront cafes and restuarants. cap salou also has a nice beach. the fountains at night in salou are lovely to watch, especially if you find a good seat to sit and watch them.the shops are quite good and the pubs and eateries are plentiful. i can go on and on, but maybe someone else can write something. :tup

Have been about 6 times now, the last 5 not our main holiday but a short break. When we first visited our children were 18mths and 5, now teenagers. The attraction for us is:

Very short flight and transfer time
Port Aventura and water park
Beautiful beach at Cap Salou (next to Negresco)
Tarragona - Roman ruins, Cathedral, shopping, beach
Cambrils
Train ride to Barcelona

:cheers

Hello

This will be our 2nd visit back. We loved it last time reasons being:

Flight time not too long
Nice clean beach and sea and the sun and warm
The theme and water parks
If you want culture Barcelona is hour away on the train or Taragona i think was 20 mins or so on bus
If you not keen on trying other foods there is plenty of English/Irish owned restaurants as well as Spanish
We felt safe there and didnt have any bad experience to be honest

Been twice

short flight
lots of different options for booking (ie DIY or cheap package)
Great weather, ie hot but not too hot like Turkey/Greece in height of summer
Port Aventura Park
Costa Caribe Waterpark
Barcelona for cultural day trip or shopping trip, on train
Close to Tarragona for day trip
Been half board, but all sorts of options for eating/drinking out if you wish
Nice prom in main part of salou town.
