Salou is a municipality of the comarca of Tarragonès, in the province of Tarragona, in Catalonia, Spain. The city is approximately 10km from Tarragona and Reus on the Costa Daurada and 112km from Barcelona. Aside from its string of beaches interrupted by rocky coves, and its landscaped promenade, one of its main attractions is the PortAventura resort, formerly owned by Universal Parks & Resorts, the theme park division of NBCUniversal. Salou was home to a permanent fairground at the end of the Passeig Jaume I promenade until its demise back in 2001; the ferris wheel was its major attraction. The Dutch movie Costa! and the television series with the same title were both filmed in Salou.
