A week at Cambrils and a visit to a more salubrious Salou.

An easy journey of an hour or so to Cambrils to a very well situated site – Camping Platja Cambrils – large pool and beaches a five minute walk away.

One day, Hannah and I walked along the passeig, past numerous villas and apartments to Salou. The last time we went through Salou it left a very unfavourable impression, but what a pleasant surprise – no tackiness although busy and slightly less classy than Cambrils. It is generally associated with the nearby Portaventura theme park, but now boasts green spaces and a school of music.

Took the local bus back as the temperature eased past 36*

Cambrils old town merges with The Passeig Miramar, just by its little Port.

There are some interesting sculptures here, almost acting as sentries on the border between the two.

Sometimes, all this walking and shopping can get just too much.

Much of the time was spent at the beach or pool.

Evenings brought the inevitable delights of cold drinks and bbqs.

Cambrils retains its charm – the old streets are a pleasure to wander along

and the locals, very friendly.

Simple things – all locally sourced.

Hope you like the new hat 🎩. Must get a haircut before meeting up with the family, at the Villa in Canyelles.
