🏛️ Sights
Tarragona is the ancient Tarraco: a Roman amphitheatre right by the sea, a circus with underground galleries, city walls and a charming old town, plus viewpoints overlooking the Mediterranean. Despite its rich history, it also has excellent sandy beaches — such as El Miracle, close to the centre, and the more spacious and calm Arrabassada.
