To mark this astronomical event, Salou Town Council and the Salou Municipal Tourist Board have organised a wide-ranging programme of educational and leisure activities for all ages in the days leading up to the eclipse.
The total solar eclipse on August 12 will make Salou one of Catalonia's main viewing locations, leading to exceptionally heavy traffic. Here's everything you need to know to travel safely.
Salou City Council and the Municipal Tourism Board have launched a large-scale operation to distribute a total of 67,000 certified eclipse glasses for the safe observation of the solar eclipse on 12 August.
Salou City Council has once again highlighted the need for Catalonia to promote a specific funding model for tourist municipalities. This was one of the main demands that Mayor Pere Granados conveyed this Thursday, 30 July 2026, to the Government Delegate of the Generalitat of Catalonia in Tarragona, Lucía López Cerdán.
Salou is consolidating its cultural transformation through two itineraries that showcase a surprisingly rich historical heritage. The aim is to reduce seasonality and offer high-value experiences through the recovery and promotion of local heritage. Beyond positioning Salou as an innovative, high-quality tourist destination, this heritage has also become a source of pride for local residents.
