Salou, Cambrils and La Pineda out of season


There is no denying it that come mid October the tourist areas of Salou, Cambrils and La Pineda begin to close, by the end of October it is quiet. But what makes a gorgeous site is the deserted beaches , the golden sand and warm sunshine.

The picture above is from early March in Salou, I myself was expecting grey cloud, drizzle and a chilling wind. What I was welcomed with was warm sunshine and the beach to ourselves.

It is true there was not a lot open, but enough bars and cafes to keep me fed and watered. We stayed at the Hotel Caspel and this proved great, with good food, bar and a nice indoor pool.

It is also worth noting the PortAventura theme park is open out of season with themes for both Halloween and Christmas, after Christmas the park closes until late March.

It may not be for everyone and children especially may find the resorts a little boring, but our 7 year old found plenty to do, including plenty of football on the beach with some locals.

The bars and cafes we did find open were found to be very friendly and most welcoming which is probably why so many cold beers and hot cappucinos were consumed on our stay.

When the weather is nice it is great to explore the local countryside and hiring a car could prove useful and one thing for sure it will be easier to park than it is in August.
