About Salou

Salou is a tourist reserve in the province of Catalonia. It is also known as the most attractive city of the Coast Daurada. However, it is most popular due to the theme park Port Aventura made by Universal Studios and the water park Costa Caribbean.Salou used to be a Roman and Greek port in the ancient times. Later it was under the Moors as many other parts of Spain. However, in the sixteenth century it was occupied by pirates. Since it was declared as a dangerous area, the archbishop made a tower for defense. The tower is called Torre Vella. In the eighteenth century the city was again attractive due to the new railway station.
