The rail operator OUIGO has launched a creative campaign in Tarragona encouraging couples to swap their Easter trips to Porto for other destinations within its network.

Using the slogan Cambia tu destino, cambiando tu destino, the company aims to challenge the urban legend known as the Porto curse, which suggests that couples visiting the city often break up. Fast-acting travelers from Tarragona can secure free tickets for alternative routes.
The initiative runs from March 12 to 16, requiring participants to show their original bookings. Additionally, a special event for singles featuring Alba Carrillo will take place in Madrid on March 28, focusing on social interaction and new connections.
