Salou is the perfect combination of golden beaches and Mediterranean climate, spiced with a lively night-life, fascinating historical sites and tonnes of adrenaline at PortAventura.

Get a cheap holiday deal to Salou and discover all the attractions of a destination considered the capital of the Costa Daurada. Leave the stresses of life behind and wander along the sunny shoreline of the long Ponent beach or take the Camí de Ronda, a coastal path that starts from Llevant beach and continues for 3 miles alongside the Mediterranean, around Cape Salou, seeing numerous charming coves along the way. Instantly you'll understand why so many people look for holiday deals to Salou each year. End your walk at the lighthouse painted a pretty red or at Pilons, the ideal spot for saying goodbye to the warm day as you watch a multicoloured sky at sunset.

Get a flight + hotel package deal to Salou and set aside some time to visit the Barenys Roman villa, a small museum that houses the remains from a Roman archaeological site. Go inside a circular kiln where the amphoras and other ceramic pieces were fired and imagine how the craftsmen worked.

If it's thrills, breathtaking attractions and incredible shows you're after, PortAventura theme park is a must. Only a few minutes by car from Salou, enjoy a family day-out with the magic of the Far West or SesamoAventura where even the littlest will never forget the experience.

Take advantage of a holiday deal to Salou and taste the local cuisine. Its proximity to the port guarantees that you'll try the freshest of produce. Sample some of the local wines from designations of origin such as Montsant and Priorat. Afterwards, unwind to the rhythm of the night with Salou's long-established night-life.

To reach Salou, fly to Barcelona or Reus airport. You can also get there by high-speed train from other Spanish cities, as the city is only a short distance from the Tarragona-Camp de Tarragona train station.

Beyond golden sandy beaches, Salou has everything you're looking for: fun, food, history and sensations you'll never forget.

"The hotel was beautifully decorated. Our room large and comfortable. Unbeknownst to us there was a loud childrens club and many groups of men- golfing, rugby, drinking loudly. We decided to move onto another hotel."
