Holidays in Salou

Why should you book a holiday package to Salou?

The Costa Daurada is a tourist's paradise, with atmospheric coastal towns like Salou, hidden coves, family attractions like PortAventura and restaurants serving up all kinds of tapas to global gastronomes. And Barcelona is right next door, with its architecture and nightlife.

The only problem is that enjoying all of this can be expensive. However, by combining flights, hotels and vehicle hire, travelers can make big savings. So make a smart decision and use Salou holiday deals to arrange your next Spanish escape.

When should you book a holiday package to Salou?

Early summer (May to June) is probably Salou's best period, with temperatures high, but not too high, and a few great deals around. However, for really affordable hotel rates, have a look at April and September or October.
