landmarks THAT CANNOT BE MISSED
Tarragona
Just 12 kilometres from Port Aventura-Ferrari Land is this UNESCO World Heritage city, where you can see one of the best-preserved Roman circuses on the Mediterranean. There are also attractive shopping areas in its medieval streets and city walls. When you visit, be sure to see:
The Balcón del Mediterráneo (Mediterranean Balcony): walk up Rambla Nova, cross Passeig de les Palmeres, and stop for a few minutes here to enjoy a fabulous view over the sea and El Miracle beach. At dawn, in the afternoon, lit up at night… it’s a wonderful sight at any time of day.
El Serrallo: in this charming fishermen’s neighbourhood with traditional restaurants, you can enjoy the best, freshest fish from the Tarragona coast.
Roman amphitheatre: a spectacular 2nd century Roman construction, with a unique view over the Mediterranean Sea from the upper seats. The amphitheatre and the old town centre are surrounded by even older city walls.
Shopping on Rambla Nova: small traditional shops and artisan workshops rub shoulders with banks, designer jewellery, and leading Spanish and international names in fashion, footwear, and accessories.
