Tarragona
A historic seaside gem
Located just an hour south of Barcelona, Tarragona is a beautiful Unesco World Heritage City with a characterful and vibrant mix of incredible history, culture and beaches.
Bathed in balmy Costa Dorada sunshine, there’s Roman ruins aplenty to explore, interesting museums and terrific restaurants. The region’s also known for its festivals: the Sant Magí in August and the Santa Tecla in September both of which feature parades, pyrotechnics and the town’s signature 'human pyramids'.
