A short guided tour of the city
Treat yourself to a little historical break in Tarragona with a few hours' stroll along its streets, sometimes lively, sometimes deserted, leading to some architectural marvels. Your stroll will begin at El Serralo, a small picturesque neighborhood that comes alive every afternoon during the auction of freshly caught fish. This also remains the meeting place for gourmets who will treat themselves to a culinary journey by sampling Tarragona's finest seafood and fish dishes.
History buffs can continue their visit at the archaeological site before rounding off their urban trek on the heights of the city where the Cathedral of St. Tecla stands. built in 1171, this majestic cathedral has a Gothic portal and a Romanesque façade. You can admire the sculptures of Christ on the Last Judgment.
And if you'd like to take home a few souvenirs of your trip to Tarragona, take some time to explore Rambla Nova. With almost 150 years of history, this alley is lined with small modern and artisanal shops selling high-quality leather goods and jewelry.
The irresistible beaches of Tarragona
by foot or by boat, it is easy to reach the delightful beaches of Tarragona, which has almost 15 km of coastline. Secluded coves and family beaches follow one another along its coast, including Playa El Milagro, which can be seen from the Pulpit of the Mediterranean. This beach, with its 500-meter-long strip of sand, is close to many amenities.
Wearing the Blue Flag, Playa Savinosa is adorned with a river of golden sand surrounded by lush nature and offers a little tranquility. The moorings alongside are for Cala Jovera, a small, discreet cove that unfolds below the castle of Tamarit, proudly perched at the top of the cliffs.
