What can you do while camping in Tarragona? 

There’s a pretty long list of things to do in Tarragona! You could spend several days sightseeing in the city. Admire its rich heritage and make the most of its lovely seafront, including the Balcó del Mediterrani, a lovely promenade looking out to sea. Don’t miss El Serrallo either – this picturesque fishing district is well worth exploring.

But Tarragona also owes much of its popularity to two standout attractions. First of all, the Roman remains, especially the amphitheatre, a major draw for tourists. The different sites testify to the past of the city, when it was known as Tarraco and played a major role in the Empire. Another must-see is the Part Alta, the old town. Stroll through its colourful streets to discover the essence of Catalonia and experience the local way of life. It’ll also be an opportunity to visit the cathedral and its Diocesan Museum, which contains some fascinating religious art collections. Almost as impressive as the cathedral itself.

Finally, Tarragona is an excellent place to discover Catalan cuisine. Savour dishes typical to Tarragona and recipes that are famed across the region: give your tastebuds a treat!
