Salou City Council and the Municipal Tourism Board have launched a large-scale operation to distribute a total of 67,000 certified eclipse glasses for the safe observation of the solar eclipse on 12 August.
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.
