Tarragona

Tarragona's "high street" is the Rambla, a meeting place for the people of Tarragona, which leads to the famous "Balcony of the Mediterranean". In the lower part of the city is the fishing quarter, known as the Serrallo. The old quarter, in the upper part of the city and surrounded by the ancient Roman Walls, is dominated by the Cathedral, built in transitional Romanesque-Gothic style. Tarragona still preserves many vestiges from the time of its maximum splendour when it was the capital of the Roman province of Hispania Citerior: the Praetorium, the Circus, the Amphitheatre, the Forum and the walls and towers. Not far from the city we find the Roman aqueduct known as the "Devil's Bridge" and the Mausoleum of Centcelles, famous for its mosaics. Following the route of the Via Augusta, from north to south, we find the Arc de Barà, the Roman villa of Els Munts in Altafulla, the Quarry of El Mèdol and the Tower of the Scipios, a funerary monument.

The county has a wide variety of folklore traditions, including castellers (human towers), ball de bastons (baton dancing) and other folk dancing groups. Especially interesting from an historical point of view are the dances of the Holy Christ from Salomó.

Tarragonès offers a wide range of leisure activities: beaches, sports facilities, summer festivals and many restaurants in which to try the excellent local cuisine, especially romesco sauce and the wines of Tarragona.
