Tips & Advice
- Check the official program PDF for detailed schedules and specific locations for each day's events, as activities are spread across Salou.
- Arrive early for events held in the Carpa de la Fiesta Mayor or Teatre Auditori de Salou (TAS) as access is often by invitation and limited by capacity.
- Consider using public transportation or the tourist train to navigate between event locations, as parking can be challenging during peak festival times.
- Many evening events, like concerts and parties, are free but require invitations; plan to collect these in advance from designated locations.
- The Coso Blanco parade route is extensive, so choose a viewing spot early to ensure a good vantage point, especially along Passeig Jaume I.
