Salou City Council has once again highlighted the need for Catalonia to promote a specific funding model for tourist municipalities. This was one of the main demands that Mayor Pere Granados conveyed this Thursday, 30 July 2026, to the Government Delegate of the Generalitat of Catalonia in Tarragona, Lucía López Cerdán.
Salou is consolidating its cultural transformation through two itineraries that showcase a surprisingly rich historical heritage. The aim is to reduce seasonality and offer high-value experiences through the recovery and promotion of local heritage. Beyond positioning Salou as an innovative, high-quality tourist destination, this heritage has also become a source of pride for local residents.
The railway line divided Salou into two halves, creating a physical and social barrier in the heart of the town. Following the removal of the railway tracks, Salou faces the greatest urban transformation opportunity in its recent history: the Civic Axis.
