Ground-floor apartment with terrace and communal pool in Salou.

There is a Salou that everyone knows: the beach, the promenade and the summer photos. And there is another that is discovered when you stay to live there. It is the one on the residential streets, where everything is at hand (the supermarket, the bakery, the pharmacy) and where, when you get home, everything goes slower.

I open the living room door and go out to my garden. The sun arrives in the south and stays until it sets in the west. There are evenings when the only decision is whether to have coffee on the terrace or at the back of the garden. When I want beach, I go. When I come back, everything is still Salou, but in a low voice.
