The place for relaxation

Tarragona has been described by the famous poet Virgilius as being the most pleasant place to relax. Tarragona is inhabited in the present by 100,000 people who earn their living from the petrochemical industry and tourism. Tarragona is the deepest Port of Spain and the most productive fishing port in Catalonia. It initially attracted the Romans in the 3rd century BC; three centuries later it became the capital of the province, a position that it still occupies today. Tarragona will attract you with its archaeological sites, the interesting museums and the unique architecture, so you should put it on your list of places to visit. Being under Roman control, the ruins in the Roman Amphitheatre represent one of the most important sightseeing places in Tarragona. About 14,000 spectators could watch the gladiator fights and the executions that used to take place in this amphitheatre. If your curiosity for the past is still not satisfied, you can visit the 6th century Santa Maria del Miracle Church, or the Romanitat Museum, a place where you can admire some of the oldest objects discovered in this city. The Archaeological Museum hosts a mosaic representing the head of Medusa, which became so popular, that it was transformed into the symbol of Tarragona.

Continuing to be surprised

Sightseeing is not the only activity in Tarragona. For those who are not untouchable when it comes to nature and beautiful places, the Balco Del Mediterrani is a very popular place; it offers spectacular views over the Mediterranean and some say that you are surrounded by a unique feeling here, probably thanks to the spirit of the sea. The beaches stand below the Balco, always ready to offer you perfect relaxation on their delicate sands. The Arrabasada beach and the Llarga Beach are among the most popular and the reason why so many tourists choose Tarragona as their destination. For another type of entertainment you can choose one of the many restaurants and pubs, which, of course, offer a good selection of tapas. In the evening the dance clubs are waiting for the young or for those who have kept their spirit young. You can dance here until the morning comes on traditional Spanish music, so they are also a perfect way to come into contact with the Spanish culture. The antiques market is perfect for souvenirs, so you also have the possibility to buy nice presents for your loved ones. Enjoy your holiday in Tarragona!!
