Our take
It's short but well thought out for kids who are desperate to drive, and hotel pickup makes it easy to slot into a Salou holiday. It's only 20 minutes behind the wheel, so treat it as a treat for them rather than an outing.

The experience
What you will see
- A buggy circuit built for children, a few minutes from Salou.
- Your child behind the wheel for the first time.
How it works
You're picked up from your hotel and reach the circuit in about 10 minutes. After a short safety briefing, the child gets into the buggy with an adult beside them for the first laps; once they've got the hang of it, they carry on driving alone. The van then takes you back to your hotel.
Who I recommend it for
- Families with children aged 8 and up who are keen to drive.
- Anyone staying in Salou, Cambrils or La Pineda who wants a short activity.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Children under 8 or under 120 cm.
- Anyone wanting a long outing: it's 20 minutes of driving.
Accessibility
The provider lists it as wheelchair accessible; confirm before booking.
Cancellation policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before, with a full refund.
