Salou in October
Around 18 °C by day, sea 22.2 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 5.
October in Salou is 18 °C by day and 22.2 °C in the sea. Swimming is still possible, but the season is over: load has fallen from the summer 5 to 3 out of 5.
October shows Salou as it is for most of the year — the main thing anyone who has only been here in summer needs to know. Winter liveability is 2 out of 5: from November to March most of what works in season is shut. There are 31,018 residents, no international schools, and the hospital is 13 minutes away. In exchange: a station in the town and a square metre at €2,554 on the ministry's appraisal — against Barcelona's €4,595 on the same basis. It is an honest trade if you live here seasonally.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 48 rainy days a year, 66% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
