The main shopping centers in Salou are located on Carrer de Barcelona and its neighboring streets. Here you can buy clothes, shoes, perfumes and everything that tourists want. However, instead of organizing a shopping tour in Salou, it is better to go shopping in Tarragona or Barcelona - there branded clothes and shoes are much cheaper and the choice of goods is much richer.
Reviews about shopping in Salou testify: many local shopping centers and stores are closed for siesta even in the "high season". Usually siesta lasts from 13:00 to 16:00. Visiting the major shopping centers of Salou, you can bring as souvenirs excellent Spanish sherry, a cut of jamon (raw cured pork ham) and a variety of desserts with nougat and nuts.
Grocery supermarkets may not close for siesta and are open even on weekends:
- Mercadona grocery store located near the train station (Pl. Sant Jordi, 1);
- Bonpreu supermarket, located on the corner of Carrer Barcelona and Carrer Carrilet. The selection of alcoholic beverages here is the richest in the city;
- Alexis II (Carrer Girona, 13).
Markets perform the functions of outlet stores in Salou:
- The clothing market, which is open only on Mondays (Paseo del 30 de octubre, 4);
- Mercado Bonavista is a universal market located in a suburban village. It works as a fair or a kind of outlet near Salou.
