Round The Way of Salou, which should already be completed, was to build a promenade bordering salouense entire coast, was to allow, going on foot, the seamless connection between the neighboring towns of Cambrils and La Pineda Beach (Vilaseca). The section that comes from and goes to Cambrils Beach Llevant poses no difficulty, since it is already fully urbanized and runs through Ponent walks and stunning ride by Jaume I.
