Tarragona
Tarragona, located directly on the Costa Daurada, is a true gem for everyone who wants to combine history, sea views, and Mediterranean lifestyle. Whether as a destination or a stopover on a convertible tour in Catalonia, the city delights with its location right by the sea and the opportunity to experience Roman history up close. Even the drive along the Catalan coastal road towards Tarragona offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean – the perfect introduction to a day full of contrasts.
Roman World Heritage in a Relaxed Atmosphere
Tarragona was once the most significant city of the Roman Empire on the Iberian Peninsula – and this is still evident today from many well-preserved structures. Particularly impressive is the amphitheater, which is located directly by the sea and offers views of the water. Also worth seeing are the Forum Romanum, the ancient city wall, and the Roman circus, which extends partly beneath the current old town. Those gliding through the wide avenues of the city in a convertible can feel how history and present harmoniously merge here.
Old Town, Cathedral, and Mediterranean Enjoyment
The old town of Tarragona invites you to stroll – winding alleys, small squares, and many restaurants provide an opportunity to enjoy Catalan cuisine. A highlight is the imposing Cathedral of Tarragona, which rises at the highest point of the city and offers a fantastic view over the sea. Particularly atmospheric is a walk through the Part Alta district in the late afternoon when the sun bathes the reddish walls in warm light.
A Stopover with Depth on Every Coastal Tour
Tarragona is an excellent choice for a relaxed stopover or a longer break on a convertible tour through Catalonia. The proximity to the sea, the cultural heritage, and the relaxed lifestyle make the city a place where one enjoys lingering a little longer. From here, the coastal road can be explored further south towards Valencia or back towards Barcelona – always accompanied by the sound of the sea and the light of the south.
