The Passeig Jaume I in Salou hosted the massive Cós Blanc celebration on Saturday, gathering around 55,000 people, a record figure despite the low temperatures.

According to police data, attendance at the Cós Blanc reached approximately 55,000 people, exceeding all participation expectations and making the Passeig Jaume I the nerve center of the parade from early afternoon.
The spectacle was a large-format production combining light, sound, and color, transforming the Salou seafront into an open-air stage. The parade featured confetti cannons, smoke effects, giant screens, and lighting synchronized with the music.
This edition was particularly marked by the celebration of significant anniversaries, such as the 40th anniversary of the Grup Esplai de Salou, with groups using floats to commemorate decades of involvement in the festival.
The parade, led by the float carrying the new 'pubilles' and 'hereu' (traditional figures), incorporated surprising visual elements, such as illuminated giant figures. The celebration culminated in the traditional and massive confetti battle, confirming the continuous evolution of the Cós Blanc.
