This was a visit to Salou, Costa Dorada in the Catalan region of Spain. We were there in the heat of August, from the 2nd to the 16th - glorious.
Its bus services then were operated by Hispania (owned by the Sagales Group of Reus) and Plana Bus.
The resort is close to the airport at Reus and the ancient city of Tarragona is not far away; also in striking distance is the region's capital, Barcelona. |
