The mayor, Pere Granados, who was in charge of delivering the prizes to the winning couples, is satisfied and delighted with the event since “once again, the organization of the act and the number of visitors have been a success. It is also remarkable the international image that Salou broadcasts through the media that covers this wonderful event, both nationally and internationally”.
Attention should also be drawn to the 5thEdition of the OPEN SHOW DANCE for groups, a variation of the groups’ competition, which took place on Sunday evening, due to the originality and color that the eight Youth teams and six Adult teams showed on the dance floor.
