Tarragona
Easy to do Plana bus goes there and back all the time. Drops off and picks up at bus in Tarragona .Not far from here to the market. Pay on bus going but need to buy ticket at office in terminal for return.
In one of my early posts I said I wander off and bus it to the markets on my own. I have also told you about pickpockets. This is a market where you need to heed my advice. When I went I asked a middle aged local spanish lady the way I was told this was a very bad place for pick pockets and to keep tight hold of my bag. She was right . I actually spotted some of it going on, though not anyone actually being robbed . There was a mother and what I supposed was her daughter. The daughter was following people then going back and talking with her mother.
Iwouldnt just go for market Salou was just as good. If you want to see Tragona its self there is lots of local history . Tip find out and practice the right word for bus station. I got puzzled lucks when I asked the way back to get the bus.

Hi beermat
The one I am on about is not outside the shop..there is one like that opposite but never bought off it....this one is attatched to a resturant...the table is outside that they serve you from but the spits are just inside the resturant itself. Ive never been good at names of roads or remembering names of places. But will try to describe where it is. On the same side as mcdonalds heading towards the covered market....up over the next main road....the road after that...(not sure there is one going of at an angle as well... And cant remember wether it is the one right ahead or the one to the right hand side...)There is a tobbacco shop on your right hand side and i think it is futher up after that. ( if its not that road its one to the right if there is one ).......told you i was hopless at remembering .

EDIT: Hi Tweetie Pie ... it's probably best that I post a link to the existing House of Illusion thread, rather than have you copy various extracts from other posts which may just result in repetition and multiple topics across the forum:

In salou on platja levante they have pedaloes, banana boats, flying fish, parascending and jetskis - on platja cappellans just pedaloes
Not sure about on la pineda or other beaches

Hi MrsAniekwe .. you may have spotted, but just in case you haven't, this is a 6 year old topic which you have revived. You may find more recent topics which also have useful info if you take a browse back through the forum.

If you intend to go on the bus much you can buy a card like a credit card, Prices as 18 months ago but first time it cost 2 euros for the card and then 90c per journey in multiples of 10.you only need 1 per party. this will take you anywhere between Cambrills and Taragona or Reus town.
