Tarragona is a great coastal city on the coastline of Spain that offers a wonderful blend of ancient history and Spanish culture. Here’s how to make the most of your one day visit:
Morning
Pont del Diable
Pont del Diable, also referred to as “Devil’s Bridge” in English, is an ancient Roman aqueduct. It is a significant historical landmark known for its impressive architecture and engineering, dating back to the 1st century AD. It’s a popular tourist spot amongst people exploring Tarragona, but if you get there early, it’s fairly quiet and you can even walk across the bridge.
Tarragona local market
Tarragona hosts a vibrant outdoor market twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This popular market offers a range of items, from clothing to flowers.
Located just outside Tarragona’s central market, it complements the indoor market venue perfectly. The central market itself is an excellent spot to purchase fresh meat and enjoy a quick meal.
Afternoon
Rambla Nova
Walk along the Rambla Nova, the city’s main boulevard.
Tarragona Mediterranean Balcony
Offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the city’s coastline. It’s a great viewpoint and a must visit when visiting Tarragona.
Ancient Roman Circus and Praetorium
During the afternoon exploration at the Roman Circus and Praetorium complex, essential components of the ancient city’s layout. The Circus, once a venue for thrilling chariot races, and the Praetorium, a tower offering panoramic views, together paint a vivid picture of Tarragona’s importance during the Roman era.
