Choose your night in Salou ↗Quick answer
The theatre sits on Calle Espigó del Moll beside the port, near the harbour end of the Passeig Jaume I promenade. Arrive about half an hour before the show. Transport is not included in the ticket, so arrange your own way there and back. Check your confirmation for the start time.
Where the theatre is
The show is in an intimate theatre at Calle Espigó del Moll, by the port of Salou. The Salou Tourist Board places the Cybernetic Fountain near the Port and the Espigón del Muelle, just in front of its own office on the Passeig Jaume I, which gives you a clear landmark at the port end of the promenade. Look for the water first and the harbour second. The booking page and your confirmation carry the exact meeting details, and they are the authority if anything here seems to differ.
The promenade that leads there
Wikipedia describes the Passeig Jaume I as Salou's main promenade, running along the coast beside Llevant beach, the longest beach in the town. The Tourist Board calls it the main artery of Salou and says it changes through the day: runners early, walkers under palm trees as the day closes, and fountains lit by night. For a visitor staying on or near the seafront, the promenade is the obvious way to reach the port end on foot, and a stroll along it beforehand is a good use of the half hour before the show.
The fountains by the port
The Tourist Board says the ornamental fountains were inaugurated in 2007 and run along the Jaume I Promenade from the Luminous Fountain to the Cybernetic Fountain. At sunset, depending on the season, the Cybernetic Fountain near the port puts on a show of water, light and music. The Tourist Board publishes a schedule that changes each season and each year, so check it for your dates, and do not plan around a fixed time.
Arriving
Plan to be there about half an hour early. That leaves time to be welcomed, escorted to your seat and settled, and to sort out any dietary notes that you did not give at booking. Your confirmation shows the start time, which can differ between the early and the late show. Bring the confirmation. There is no transport included, so decide before you set out how you will get back: a walk along the seafront, a taxi rank, or a lift that you arranged.
By taxi, bus or on foot
Wikipedia says Salou's taxi ranks include one opposite the Font Lluminosa, which stands on the Passeig Jaume I, and names Autocars Plana as the bus company that serves the area. Reus is the closest airport to Salou, according to Wikipedia, with a regular bus link. On foot is the simplest from the seafront, and the Tourist Board invites visitors to stroll along the promenade. Check current times and routes on the operators' own pages, because this guide gives no timetables.
Who this isn't for
This guide is not a door-to-door route for every hotel in Salou, because there are too many, and the Tourist Board and your accommodation are better sources for the last stretch. It also is not a promise of a transfer: transport is not included in the ticket, and any lift is your own arrangement.
