The Delicate Dance: Stag Parties and the Future of Salou
Salou, a postcard-perfect coastal town in Catalonia, Spain, has always been a magnet for tourists seeking sun, sea, and a vibrant nightlife.

As a journalist, I’ve traversed my fair share of destinations, but what awaited me on this expedition was nothing short of extraordinary.
