Salou recreates, coinciding with the festivity of the Mare de Déu del Carme, the ancient art of fishing "Tirar l'Art", which was used by the ancient fishermen of the area.
Every 15th July the town of Torredembarra holds a festival in honour of Santa Rosalia, its patron saint. The legend tells us that the painting of the saint saved the population from the plague in 1640. In gratitude the painting is brought in procession to the town centre.
