The cars will be set next to Salou’s podium area. The following day, Saturday 25, it will be the time for a special stage round the centre of Salou, of 2.24km long, made entirely of tarmac. This stage has been designed with enthusiasts in mind, following practically the same route at Passeig Jaume I, as in previous editions.
