Adventure, speed and bike ride in Salou

We start at the Bosc Aventura de Salou, an outdoor leisure park for children of all ages, which is usually open from April to October. There are games and routes of various difficulties: wooden walkways between the trees, paths and rope nets to overcome, mini-golf, climbing wall and, above all, eight zip line courses up to 80 meters long and up to 10 meters high. The facility has 4 main circuits and a total of 55 games with nature as the stage. Children from three years old will have a lot of fun in an environment where safety is a fundamental condition. The fast-paced emotions that your children will experience in Bosc Aventura will make them stop in time and want to stay there forever! Of course, between so much rolling in the trees, jumping, falling and getting up again, we don't guarantee that you can avoid a big washing machine with an extra dose of detergent! But isn't it nice to see the children really enjoying themselves?

For older cattle ranchers there are also activities to abandon midweek stress. Paintball, that paintball war with air shotguns, is the ideal formula for a revenge with your boss. Come with a good gang, make teams, and shoot! Children under 12 years of age can also aim with paintball guns in the children's area, where they have to knock down and hit targets, bottles and mobile phones. Charge, aim and fire!

But if you want strong sensations, in kart racing. Without leaving Salou you have two options of different technology, gasoline karts and electric karts. At Karting Salou they organize races with the smell of gasoline of a lifetime. For adults on a 900-metre circuit, and for children between 4 and 13 years old on the 300-metre children's track. To be able to accompany the children in the transition from one category to another, they also have two-seater cars, so they can make the first corners on a competition circuit under control. Here you can also ride the Bungee Rocket attraction, a giant catapult that launches you into a ball 90 meters high at 180 km/h in 1.3 seconds. A good speed workout!

In the other facility of the municipality, the Electric Karting Salou, the vehicles are with lithium batteries and work only if they have been plugged into the charger. A different experience but with the same power under your feet! They have a bar for a snack after the race.

Tourist train to Salou

For the youngest members of the family, a different way to get to know Salou and the main places of interest is the tourist train. It offers a single route that allows you to discover the most emblematic corners of the city, such as the Monument to Jaume I, the Ornamental Fountains, the Captaincy, the Modernist Chalets, the Monument to the Fisherman, the beginning of the Coastal Path, the Catalan Farmhouse, the City Park, the Old Tower, the church of Santa Maria del Mar, of the eighteenth century. In addition, the train reaches PortAventura World. The route can be started at any of the signposted stops, and you can go all the way around until you reach the stop where you got on!

We end this TripIdea with a more relaxed walk, typical of the Costa Dorada, after so much adrenaline. The Port of Salou and Cambrils are linked by a bike lane about 7 km long. Doing it pedaling at a gentle pace with the whole family is a pleasant way to enjoy a good meal. You will pass over the Riera de Maspujols and you will not lose sight of the sea for a moment. You will find benches to rest along the route, and if you do it in good weather, you already know where to go diving! Don't worry about tiredness, because if you don't feel like pedaling again, there are city buses that connect the two towns along the road parallel to the bike lane. And of course, if you prefer to make the journey with skates, the path is well paved to make it possible.
