Salou is undertaking one of its most significant transformations in recent years in terms of children's play areas. The City Council will invest nearly €350,000 to renovate six of the municipality's most iconic playgrounds.

The solar eclipse will be a special moment for many families. For children, it is a great opportunity to witness a rare natural event, but it is important to follow a few simple recommendations to make sure they can enjoy it safely.

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.

The Coastal Path (Camí de Costa) is one of Salou's great natural attractions. This 9-kilometer coastal trail runs through the municipality's Mediterranean landscape among coves, beaches, and viewpoints, from Punta de Sant Pere, in the area of Passeig Miramar and Plaça Venus, to Racó de Salou, on the border with Cap Salou and La Pineda.

Salou officially launched the 2026 edition of the Nits Daurades on Saturday, 1 August 2026, with the institutional opening ceremony held in the gardens of Xalet Torremar.

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.

On Sunday, 19 July, Plaça de la Pau will become the meeting point for football fans, residents and visitors to watch the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina live.

Salou will once again host Festiuet on 17 and 18 July 2026. The music festival will feature some of the biggest names in Catalan music, including La Gossa Sorda, La Fúmiga, Figa Flawas, The Tyets, Ginestà, Els Pets, Buhos and Lax’n’Bust, among others.
