The Catalan Traffic Service (Servei Català de Trànsit - SCT) expects exceptionally high traffic levels on 12 Augustdue to the total solar eclipse, which will make Salou one of the main viewing locations in Catalonia. Because of the large number of visitors expected, people already staying in Salou are encouraged to walk to the viewing areas whenever possible, avoiding the use of private vehicles.

To mark this astronomical event, Salou Town Council and the Salou Municipal Tourist Board have organised a wide-ranging programme of educational and leisure activities for all ages in the days leading up to the eclipse.

Salou will once again host Festiuet on 17 and 18 July 2026. The music festival will feature some of the biggest names in Catalan music, including La Gossa Sorda, La Fúmiga, Figa Flawas, The Tyets, Ginestà, Els Pets, Buhos and Lax’n’Bust, among others.
