PLACES OF INTEREST

JAUME I PROMENADE
Salou’s emblematic promenade runs parallel to the Llevant beach for more than a kilometre. The monument to James I of Spain at the heart of the promenade was erected in 1965 and commemorates the day in 1229 when the king set sail from the port of Salou to re-conquer the island of Mallorca from the Moors. It is the work of the architect Ripoll and the sculptor Saumells.

TORRE VELLA
S'edificà l'any 1530 com a torre de guaita i defensa per protegir Salou dels saquejos constants de pirates i corsaris. La Torre Vella, a més d'acollir exposicions temporals d'art, és la seu del Museu Municipal d'Esmalt Contemporani (MECS).

MASIA CATALANA
The “Catalan farmhouse” is a relatively modern structure (1974) built with traditional materials that faithfully reproduce a rural environment of times gone by. In summer it is the site of the handicrafts market and at Christmas it houses an original living nativity scene, as well as the traditional "caga tió".
Address: Avda. Carles Buigas, 50

MODERNISM IN SALOU
Strolling along the Jaume I Promenade we find examples of this architectural style that left its mark on the town’s emblematic houses, such as the Chalet Voramar or Casa Bonet. This magnificent house was designed by the architect Domènech Sugranyes i Gras, a follower of the master Gaudí.

ILLUMINATED FOUNTAIN
This fountain is located at the end of the Jaume I Promenade and in summer puts on a marvellous spectacle of water and light. It was designed by the architect Carles Buïgas, who also designed the Montjuic Fountain in Barcelona.

BEACHES

Salou’s beaches are without a doubt one of its main attractions, which is why they are so well looked after. There are eight beaches altogether in the resort, as well as several small coves of great natural beauty, which are more difficult to get to and therefore quieter. Many of them are surrounded by pine trees and other Mediterranean vegetation, providing an enchanting and unforgettable setting. The main beaches are:

LLEVANT BEACH
The Llevant beach is the largest in the resort at a length of some 1,200 metres and a width of 140 metres.
