Salou: local guide and property context

A sourced introduction to Salou, its official settlement geography and the evidence used on this property-area page.

Local overview

Salou is a resort town and municipality of the comarca of Tarragonès, in the province of Tarragona, in Catalonia, Spain. The city is approximately 10 km from Tarragona and Reus on the Costa Daurada and 112 km from Barcelona.

Founded by the Greeks in the 6th century B.C., the coastal town was a notable commercial port during medieval and modern ages. Throughout the 20th century, Salou became an important European tourist attraction.

Aside from its string of beaches interrupted by rocky coves, and its landscaped promenade, one of its main attractions is the PortAventura World resort. The Dutch movie Costa! and the television series with the same title were both filmed in Salou.

Official geography

Within Tarragona province, Salou is recorded as municipality 43905 in the official INE register. The linked structured record provides a recorded municipal area of 15.1 square kilometres and a reference coordinate of 41.0796, 1.1316. The coordinate is a municipal reference point, not a property, parcel boundary or radius from which local claims are inferred.

Settlements and local form

Salou’s current IGN settlement record contains 3 official population nuclei. The imported source records are dated through 2025-10-27. The entry explicitly marked as the municipal capital is Salou, at a recorded elevation of approximately 8 metres. Other population-bearing nuclei in the extract include Cap Salou (2,987 residents in the cited settlement record) and Xalets de Salou i Mirador de Salou (583 residents in the cited settlement record). Nomenclátor entries describe settlement geography; they are not listing totals, neighbourhood boundaries or evidence of homes currently available for sale.

How this guide keeps the evidence local

All official market and population evidence shown below is resolved to Salou through its exact INE identity. This prevents similarly named places in other provinces from being blended together. Where a municipality-level series is unavailable, the page labels the province fallback explicitly; current NLS asking inventory remains separate from completed-sale, demographic and cadastral evidence.

What the official data shows for Salou

Salou is a municipality in Tarragona, Cataluña. The latest available INE municipal record reports 30,258 residents in 2023.

The INE population series shown for Salou municipality runs from 2015 to 2023, moving from 25,833 to 30,258 residents. The published series therefore changes by +17.1% over that span; this describes resident population, not housing demand by itself.

MITMA records 1,219 housing transactions over the latest four published quarters through 2026Q2. That is +3.0% compared with the preceding four quarters.

Current Catastro coverage for Salou municipality includes 2,213 recorded buildings and 32,479 recorded dwellings, with an average recorded build year of 1980. These are cadastral records, not a count of homes currently for sale.

Within buildings that carry a usable construction year, the largest Catastro age band is 1970–1989, representing 51.5% of that recorded subset. The distribution helps describe the physical stock, but it does not establish refurbishment condition, energy performance or legal status for an individual property.

The current Consejo General del Notariado snapshot reports a completed-sale rate of €2,690 per square metre for Salou municipality, based on 1,116 price-informed sales from 1,202 total recorded transactions. It is a dated aggregate snapshot rather than an asking-price estimate or an individual property valuation.

INE reports a house-price index of 109.0 for Cataluña in 2026Q2. The index moved +10.1% year on year. This regional index shows direction of travel, not the value of a particular home.

The latest available INE indicators for Salou municipality report net income per person of €14,097 (2023); an average age of 41.0 years (2023); an average household size of 2.50 people (2023); 32.6% of residents recorded as non-Spanish (2023); 14.6% of residents aged 65 or over (2023). These measures describe the resident and household context. They should not be converted into a forecast of prices, rents or buyer demand.

NLS currently shows 0 active public listings for this search. Those live asking listings are kept separate from official completed-sale, demographic and cadastral records so readers can compare current availability with historical evidence without blending unlike measures.

Sources, periods and how to read this analysis

Completed-sale snapshot. Consejo General del Notariado / Penotariado aggregate for the stated scope. Price measures use 1,116 price-informed sales from 1,202 total recorded transactions. It is a current snapshot fetched 2026-08-03 21:39:29, not a historical point.

Transaction activity. MITMA quarterly housing transmissions, shown as published counts with no scaling or extrapolation.

Registered-price context. Colegio de Registradores quarterly statistics for the labelled comparison scope. Aggregate values are never relabelled as municipality or neighbourhood values.

Population and income. INE series for Salou municipality through 2023. Aggregate percentages and averages are population-weighted where appropriate.

Physical stock. Dirección General del Catastro building records. Counts describe recorded stock, not homes currently for sale.

Administrative registers. Official energy-certificate and, where available, tourism-register entries are matched to official geography; coverage is not a model of unregistered stock.

Geographic scope. Official municipality pages use their INE code. Legacy area-taxonomy pages inherit only a municipality or province scope that resolves unambiguously; no market value is derived from a listing location.

Current listings. The NLS active public inventory, shown separately as asking inventory and never blended into completed-sale statistics.

Images. Wikimedia Commons files are selected through Wikidata municipality records. Each photograph retains its creator, reuse licence and source link.

This is aggregate market context, not a property valuation, cadastral assessment, legal opinion or forecast. Non-institutional deed samples and commercial portal asking-price benchmarks are excluded from the analysis.
