If its Salou you fancy, fly straight to Barcelona with Clickair or Globespan from Edinburgh or whomever from Aberdeen. Can be as little as £ 70 - 100 return each. Globespan do Flight/ Hotel./ Transfer packages which I use every summer, they are cheaper than doing it yourself would you believe!!
You can also fly to Reus from Prestwick, Reus is around 10 miles from Salou with a good bus link. One other alternative is Aberdeen Dublin Reus with Ryanair, it can work out cheap if you get your dates right.

Then take the one hour train ride from Barcelona Airport to Salou. Its about a tenner return from memory and the trains are great.

Book your hotel in Salou direct with the hotels themselves, you'll be surprised a dad and son sharing a room can be very cheap, often with half or full board thrown in!
This is a good one.....
Whilst Salou is not my own choice of resort, I know the Tarragona area well and there is lots to do with you laddie. We went north of Salou two years ago for 17 days in late June/ Early July and had a fantastic time.
