Salou
If you're starting to crave a sunny afternoon on the beach, stop in Salou, a modern resort with a long esplanade of young palms. The town itself is long on glitz but short on charm. History buffs might appreciate that the conquerors of Majorca set out from the old port here in 1229 to retake the island from the Moors.
