Salomó takes up the north-eastern sector of El Tarragonès. The municipality borders with L`Alt Camp to the north and west and with El Baix Penedès to the east. It is located in the middle of the triangle formed by Tarragona, Valls and ---el Vendrell, 20 kilometres away from each one of these cities. Despite its proximity to the coast (12 km away from Torredembarra and Tamarit) Salomó is located in a rugged territory of 12,44 Km², at 163 metres above sea level. Its uneven relief is due to the mountains in the area (Bloc de Gaià, Tossa Grossa de Montferri, La Roca Roja and La Serra Alta). The Gaià River that makes a border line with Vilabella , is the most important water course in the area. The town is surrounded by mountains and hills, 'like in the bottom of a huge pot', according to the words of geographer and historian Emili Morera.

Today like always, the town's economy is based on agriculture. From the 17th century the vine is the most important growing followed by olive. The farming co-operative was founded in 1962 and counts with the most modern technology to make excellent wine and olive oil.
The industrial sector is mostly artisan (locksmith, carpentry...). There is also a paint factory, a linen company, a furniture store, a rabbit flayer, as well as some restaurants and plenty of food stores.
