Salou: A Family Destination
Costa Dorada and its attractions
Costa Dorada, with the 216 kilometres of beach that stretch along it, is the most popular holiday destination in Spain for those who want to spend some time relaxing with their families. The fact that this is a family destination has been determined by its waters, which are crystal clear and shallow, perfect for children, because there are no risks. Salou occupies a top place on the list of family resorts available on the Coast of Dorada.
This is due to the fact that it has the same shallow and clear waters; in addition to this, the services are close to perfection: just about 60 kilometres away from Barcelona, in case anything happens to your child, you have rapid access to the best care in Spain. Besides the fact that it is situated close to one of the biggest cities in Spain, in Salou you’ll always have a lifeguard on the beach to keep an eye on your children, especially on Playa de Levante. One other main attraction of Salou is its peacefulness, its tranquillity, although it is situated close to one of the most crowded cities in Spain.
