Disappointing change to the fountain recently. The music and light show used to be brilliant and we have seen it several times. It had modern pop music including Abba and finishing with John Miles classic song ' Music is my First Love'. The music was accompanied by jets and swirling water spouts colourfully lit and also laser light images added into the water mist. It finished with a large laser sign in the water mist saying ' Goodnight from Salou'. Absolutely breathtaking ! But now it has been revamped with classic orchestral music only.

Its a nice attraction with a beautiful display of light shows and no admission charge for this. There is plenty of standing space and if people try to sell you items, simply blank them if not interested and you get left alone. I haven't had any issues with this.
I would recommend this visit if in Salou.. Even if the person you propose with is now your ex and you both still continue to visit together to remember the time...
