Cape Salou is just a few miles to the North of Salou, and, is easily reached by the Plana bus at a cost of a couple of a couple of €'s, or you can also use the little tourist train, that takes you round Salou.
The coast line is rocky, and dominated by steep Cliffs, there are some spectacular views from the viewing point which is well signed posted.
What spoiled it for me, was the the hotels built into the cliffs going down to the beaches, and, some very tatty bars and cafes.
There is a church to visit, but it was closed when we went.

Most people who visit Salou are flying in at the airport of Reus,and thats it.Well Reus is worthwile visiting and has a lot to offer.Like musea,historical monuments etc.The famous Antoni Gaudi was born here in 1852.So next time when you are in Salou,visit Reus.

One of the most interesting and exciting cities of Europe,Barcelonais just around the corner of Salou.Take your change you wont regret it.

Well we had some sun as well as you can see. On my left is my friend Andreas and some waiters from the hotel. I can remember that i swom in the sea....but hee, i think i did! Do you know most Spanish people dont lay down on the beach but stand against a wall or just like that?

This is what the beach normally looks like NOW! So you better be ware of all this people and go out earlie in the morning to find a nice spot near the sea, drinks and ice creams.
Or go somewhere else in Salou, there is more then just the beach, watch this site and do something else that getting a tan!!!

One day we had a walk and there is was, this little spot i was looking for all this time..As you can see the weather was clouded again i even have a sweater with me....Looks like rain is going to fall any minute!
Lets go to the Cybercafe and see what going on there.....You can do it now, we couldnt!!!
