In Tarragona province, property prices in Salou and Cambrils have now overtaken those in Tarragona city, according to recent data from the Notarial Statistical Portal.
The figures point to a clear split in the Costa Daurada market. In the coastal towns, demand is being supported by tourism, second homes and growing interest from international buyers.
That pressure has helped push the price per square metre in Salou and Cambrils above the provincial capital. The trend underlines how the seaside market is behaving differently from the more urban housing market in Tarragona city.

The data also suggests that leisure and investment property will remain a key part of the market in these towns. Any future planning for homes or commercial projects in the area is likely to take these price differences into account.
