Don't expect to find any decent places to eat, it's all chips burgers and stuff like that. Even though I like junk food, I was glad to get home.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

I felt Salou was grubby in places. We had a meal and the food was not very good. there was a meal that we disputed to pay for and after leaving the premise were followed by a group of 8 people calling themselves security until we had to pay. not good
