Amfiteatre Rom

The Roman Amphitheater is situated at the seaside, immediately off the Rambla Nova. At the foot of Miracle Park and noticeably stamped from a cliff that ascends from the coast, this Roman amphitheater remembers the days in the 2nd century when thousands assemble here for leisure and entertainment.

Cathedral

At the uppermost point of Tarragona lies this 12 th century cathedral, who s structural design signify the evolution from Romanesque to Gothic architecture. It has a massive, vaulted entrance hall, impressive stained-glass windows, a Romanesque walkway, and an open choir. In the foremost apse, view the altarpiece of St. Thecla , patron of Tarragona , carved by Pere Joan in 1430. Two ostentatious doors open into the chevet. The east gallery is the Museu Dioces , with a nice collection of Catal art.

Passeig Arqueol

At the far end of the Pla del Pallol, a portico shows the way to this .8 kilometer (half mile) boardwalk along the antique fortifications. it was constructed by the Romans on top of colossal boulders. The walls have been much tainted over the years, especially during the medieval times and in the 1600s. There are scenic views from many points along the way.

Monastery of Poblet

Another jewel of the province is the imposing fortified monastery of Poblet . Rising on an isolated valley and founded by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, it exhibits magnificent buildings, an exceptional alabaster retable, extraordinary pergola and royal tombs.

El Serallo

This is the maritime district of Tarragona . Tourists and locals have the chance to watch the fishing boats come in as well as witness the fish catch being auctioned at La Lonia (fish exchange), which is actually an age-old tradition.

Costa Daurada

The shoreline of the territory is branded as Costa Daurada (golden coast). With a sequence of sandy beaches, its resorts offer a more tranquil ambience than those of the Costa Brava” en el siguiente texto: For your next Spanish trip, always bear in mind the stunning city of Malaga should the marine life appeal. Whether it be for just a day (using an option such as Malaga and driving from another destination) or a longer holiday, you are sure to be in awe of its breathtaking attractions.

Imperial Tarragona Square

This is the hub of all the city s transport systems.

Other interesting sites in Tarragona that are visit-worthy include the very modern Jacint Verdaguer Square, La Rambla Vella, and the V de L'Imperi Rom.

Tarragona really has a lot to offer the tourist, such a variety. Once finished here, there really is no excuse to stop! Deals such as those offered by the Euro rail service can make exploration of the continent all the more easier, opening your eyes to new culture and horizons just on your doorstep. For example, the beautiful beaches are rivalled by those of Northern Spain, Southern France and even British Devon, the excellent gastronomy tallies with that of France and the exciting nightlife is matched by London’s famous clubs (think it’s expensive?  No way!  Check out options such as a hostel in London rather than a hotel and you’ll save yourself over fifty pounds per night!)…So why not investigate?

Or, for more lively travels, why not visit some of the nightlife resorts, trying new things and staying out until dawn? Tarragona for example is home to some of Spain’s hottest casinos and so after your holiday here, should you find yourself to be a dab-hand at the juegos de casino, you can take your skills elsewhere – to another Spanish resort maybe (Barcelona, Madrid (where the hoteles Madrid have the best casinos!) and Torremolinos (from where a world famous poker champion comes!) are all famous for their nightlife) or you can look further a field – to Las Vegas even! What is most important is that your holiday includes something for everyone. Perhaps not all your travel buddies would be happy to spend a day lazing on a beach but to you, it would be a dream. Should this be the case, look for a beach with water sports – everyone will be entertained! Or if you would relish the opportunity to go dancing through the night but your partner appreciates the more tranquil aspects of a holiday, look into options such as cruises where there’ll be cinemas for the quieter nights on board, discos for the crazier nights and a variety of stops which you’ll both appreciate.
