TRAVELLING TO SALOU

Hello friends,

Today, I will speak of my experience when I traveled to Salou. (If you don't know Salou is in Tarragona, in Catalonia.)

My family has an apartment there, so we go very often. When we go we do the same things every day, because we know a lot of places that are there, and we don’t want to go to a museum in summer…

If you go like a tourist you can do so many things. One of them is going to Portaventura attraction park. There are many attractions, some of them are very scary but others aren't. If you are easily scared person like me I don’t recommend you Shambhala and Dragon Khan because of the downhills (Here I leave you a video of how it is the Shambhala). The Stampida and Tutuki Splash also have downhills but not so much. I go a lot of summers to Portaventura and all times when I go back home I have an experience, and I know that will not forget it; and I suppose that if you go you will not forget it.

Another thing that you can do is look at the historic monuments and buildings. You can see them in a lot of places, for example; the  Monument to Jaume I and the Fountains of the Font lluminosa are on The Promenade. In other places there are the Church of Santa María del Mar, Torre Vela, Harbour-master’s Office, Monument to Fishermen, Old Carrier Railway Station...

I think I’m boring you with all of this so I leave you one link that contains more things to do.

The climate in summer is very hot. On one day we can have 30 degrees and on another 38. I recommend you to drink cold things, going to the swimming pool… But I don’t recommend you any of the beaches that Salou has, because one of the beaches don't have waves and is always full and the other has little rocks on the sand, also don't have waves, but have less people; if you don’t like waves then you can go.

If one day you don't feel like cooking, going to a restaurant is the best idea. There are a lot with different style, and if you don’t have place you can go to another. There are some restaurants that are very elegant, such as “La Morera de Pablo & Ester”, “Restaurante Castillo de Javier”, “Flash Bar Restaurante Lounge”, and many more. Then there are the cheap ones. The food is very good and also the services, there are a lot of cheap restaurants, for example “El Trasto Taberna”, “La Tortillita”, “Al Taglio Salou”, and many more.

So in my opinion Salou is a very nice place to visit, because of the landscapes. Then, if you go like a tourist, you have so many things to do and places to visit.
