A short guided tour of the city

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.

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.
