Salou. Costa Dorada. 05 December 2020.
As every year, the Salou City Council has decorated the main shopping streets of the municipality with Christmas lighting, including a spectacular 10-meter-high Christmas tree, plus the 2-meter star that crowns it. The tree is located in the roundabout between Calle Barcelona and Vía Roma, the nerve center of the Salou shopping center and the place where Christmas lights are traditionally inaugurated every year.
The City Council recalls that all the lighting that adorns the streets of Salou at Christmas is LED type, low consumption and high energy efficiency, and the large Christmas tree is made of non-polluting and environmentally friendly materials.
The act of turning on the lights was carried out by the mayor of Salou, Pere Granados, who was accompanied by the councilor for Economic Dynamization, Héctor Maiquez; by the president of Shopping Salou Comerciantes y Empresarios, Juli Vilaplana; by Elaine McParland, president of the Business Association of the Tourist Zone of Salou (ASET); and by Jaume Orteu, president of the Salou-Cambrils-La Pineda Hotel Association.
The mayor has taken advantage of the act of turning on the Christmas lights to appeal to the public to "celebrate Christmas responsibly and follow the established security measures, in order to protect our loved ones." For his part, the Councilor for Economic Dynamization, Héctor Maiquez, explained that "in addition to the typical luminaire, this year we have opted, as a novelty, for a more sustainable Christmas decoration, with non-luminous figures and of a more familiar nature, to complement the lighting, which can be enjoyed during the day.
