We went for 10 days last year to Salou. Port Aventura rocks! Its an amazing place! Salou itself we thought was quite dear. Especially for food and drinks. Cap Salou was even worse BUT we were half board so didnt mind as much. The place itself is clean and friendly and La Pineda which is a bus ride away is really cheap and also has the aqupolis aqau park where you can swim with seals not cheap but well worth it and a dolphin show which is free.
Use the little train tp and from port aventura as its cheaper than a bus and much nicer. We went in June and it was hot!
Any more questions just ask! Have a lovely time!0 -
Hi Vanessa,
The Aquapolis was great fun for the kids but we all got ill because the water must have been very dirty. The children and my husband suffered badly, with high temperature, vomiting and diahoerra.
We took a day trip to Barcelona which was tiring (with 2 young children) but worth it.
You may want to have a look at holidaytruths.co.uk as it's a great place for info on resorts etc.
Happy holiday!0 -
We are going on Friday! We're having a couple of nights in Barcelona and a couple of weeks in Salou. I hope you have a great time.0

get the local bus to tarragona for shopping and roman ruins- dont be afraid to go to some o the beaches down the coast. visit cambrils cor a more spanish reort and excellent sea food. try port aventura in the evening. and unless your particularly confident go for an organised trip to barcelona as logistics and personal saety can be an issue.

Just an aside, but we booked a hotel for one night in Barcelona at each end of our holiday, and the booking agent has now changed the hotel for us TWICE for Friday night. TWICE for goodness's sake, and the second time they phoned me on my mobile today, only 3 days before we fly. D'oh!
But we've ended up in a 3* hotel for the price of a 1* so I shouldn't complain too much.0
