The arrival of spring is a by-word for life and Salou, capital city of Costa Daurada, is no exception.

Days get longer and longer, and green areas see flowers bursting into live, while mild temperatures makes us want to get out and enjoy the weather.
Thus, if you can spend 24h, why not being in touch with nature. Mornings are the best moment of the day to walk along the Coastal Path, a 1.2-mile pathway built following the coastline –going from Pilons to Platja Llarga beach–. The course allows users to enjoy the incredible natural and landscape richness around it.
Those searching for a proper adventure can discover an even more natural 2.5-mile path –taking from Replanells to Racó–, which leads to Salou’s Lighthouse, while enjoying the sea breeze, as well as the pleasant heat of the sun in spring.
Weather in spring becomes the perfect excuse to stroll along the different beaches and coves of Salou, while enjoying the great sensation golden fine sand and Mediterranean water provides.
