Located on the north eastern coast of Spain, Tarragona is both the southern most province of Catalonia and the Costa Dorada?s principle City.
The actual City of Tarragona is steeped in history with a large amount of Roman ruins, an old Jewish quarter and a busy fishing and yachting harbour.
You will be able to find Tarragona just 100 south of the buzzing city of Barcelona 230 kms to the east of Madrid and if you are touring by car, 400 kms north from Alicante.
Ryanair now offer cheap, no thrills flights in Reus Airport which is just 20 away from Tarragona or you could fly into Barcelona Airport and drive down to Tarragona. The drive from Barcelona should take around 1 hour to 1 and a half hours along a fairly good stretch of the Autopista (motorway).
The Tarragona coastline offers some excellent beaches with good gently sloping beaches providing safe and enjoyable bathing conditions. Most of the beaches are made up of fine white sand.
You will also find the usual selection of water sports available on a lot of the beaches including wind surfing, water skiing and snorkeling.
The inland area of Tarragona offers a contrast of colours with large olive groves competing for space with Hazel Trees, Almond Trees and Carob Trees.
Tarragona, located on the Mediterranean coast in the northeast of Spain, is the most southern of the Catalan provinces. It is also the principle City for the Costa Dorada and has a sizable fishing and yachting port.
The combination of good year round weather and cheap low cost flights from Ryanair to Reus has made Tarragona a new ?weekend break? destination.
In our opinion the easiest way of getting around Tarragona and to and from either Barcelona or Reus Airport is by having your own rental car. We have found that Car-Hire.es offer the best choice or cars at the best prices.
