PortAventura and the Costa Caribe Aquatic Park are the two fun parks par excellence in Salou. However, the city has continued to add an extremely varied range of activities, which are complemented by both traditional and daring proposals – including karting, zip line circuits, quad bike outings, jeep safaris, horse riding, Segway tours, and a jungle-inspired children’s park.
Ornamental fountains in Salou include the Cybernetic Fountains, a show of games, choreographies and compositions synchronised with water, light and music; the Labyrinth, a game of water pumps for the whole family; and the Illuminated Fountain, with 210 different combinations of water and light.
Salou is a member of the Costa Daurada Estació Nàutica, or Water Sports Centre, where you can make bookings for water sports and all types of complementary activities, including mountain bike tours, outings, hiking, spas, and accommodation:
