🗺️ Catalonia
Places worth a day trip from Tarragona.
Reus
Antoni Gaudí's home town, with an interactive museum, Modernista houses and a vermouth museum.
Salou
The best-known resort on the Costa Daurada, with sandy beaches, a palm-lined promenade and PortAventura World.
La Pineda
A quiet resort with a wide sandy beach, a water park and a spa — a great choice for families with children.
Altafulla
A cosy, quiet town with white houses, a medieval castle and Tamarit Castle standing right above the sea.
Ebro Delta (Delta de l'Ebre)
A nature park of lagoons, rice fields and flamingos about an hour's drive from Tarragona.
More places worth seeing
The Roman aqueduct known as the Devil's Bridge just outside town, and the mountain village of Siurana an hour away.
A day along the Ebro: Miravet, Tortosa and the delta
Our weekend road trip: a town on a cliff, a drive along the river, Tortosa's fortress, a Greek lunch in Amposta and flamingos in the Ebro Delta.
Miravet
A small, picturesque town on the Ebro: houses on a cliff, a Templar castle, a river ferry and a bakery with wood-fired bread.
Tortosa
A drive along the Ebro, a huge fortress with a parador, and a town that left me with a heavy feeling.
Mariscos de Grecia
A small Greek restaurant in Amposta with a 4.9 rating and friendly prices. We arrived starving after Tortosa and left very happy.
Ebro Delta: a quick stop for flamingos
The last stop of our route: a short visit to the Ebro Delta to see the flamingos, and what else there is to do if you come for a whole day.
