Review:
Tarragona was once an important Roman Capital which is filled with wonderful ancient ruins and other archaeological gems. Located about 90 minutes by road (or just over an hour by train) from Barcelona, the city definitely deserves a place on your list of day trips. One of the most outstanding attractions in the city is the ruins of the 2nd century Roman amphitheatre, which was carved out of bedrock and can accommodate 14,000 spectators. You can also visit the National Archaeological Museum, the Roman Forum, the Circ Roma ancient Roman chariot track and the beautiful Tarragona Cathedral. For a change of pace you can spend a few hours relaxing on the lovely El Milagro beach and enjoying a seafood lunch at one of the many promenade restaurants.
