Barcelona
Salou has an enviable setting and hundreds of activities to do to enjoy the best holidays. Just a hundred kilometres from Salou is Barcelona, the political, business and tourist capital of Catalonia. With a history forged more than two thousand years ago, Barcelona proudly displays the rich historical, architectural and cultural heritage of the city, which is home to eight universities. It is also one of Europe's top tourist destinations.
During your getaway to Barcelona, we recommend a visit to the Gothic Quarter to discover the lights and shadows of the medieval city, full of buildings with a rich medieval legacy. We also suggest the modernist route, where you must visit the Casa Milà, Batlló and the Sagrada Familia, still under construction after decades of building work.
Since the Olympic Games, Barcelona has been a city open to the Mediterranean, with modern, contemporary neighbourhoods and a wide range of hotels and restaurants.
