✔ WHAT TO DO IN TARRAGONA

Its Roman heritage, protected by UNESCO since 2000, is overwhelming. The main attractions are very close to each other. Start with the Rambla Nova, a 1 km promenade that crosses diagonally through the city center and is home to numerous terraces and sculptures, such as the Monument to the Castellers. The Rambla leads to one of the city's most emblematic spots: the Balcó del Mediterrani (Mediterranean Balcony). This large viewpoint, located 40 m above sea level, offers stunning views of the coastline, including the port and the amphitheater. Visit the Cathedral, the Plaça del Rei (King's Square), and the Amphitheater. Take advantage of your visit to also see the Les Ferreres Aqueduct, also known as the Pont del Diable (Devil's Bridge), located 4 km from the center.

🌮 YOU CAN'T LEAVE TARRAGONA WITHOUT TRYING IT

As a Mediterranean port, a significant part of its wealth comes from the sea. Tarragona's most typical dish is romesco casserole. You can also try the famous seafood paella, black rice, grilled or fried fish, arrossejat (a rice dish), and fideus rossejats (golden noodles). The wines of the Tarragona Designation of Origin deserve special mention, especially the mistelas and rancios, which are very suitable for accompanying desserts.
