Tarragona makes for a great day trip from Barcelona, but really merits a long stay, writes chris2005.
Recent tips about Tarragona

"Real Spain" holidays on the famous Mother’s Garden working farm - you stay in a restored cottage for up to eight people, with private pool, breathtaking mountain scenery, wildlife, wine, food and culture of the Priorat in southern Catalonia.

Half an hour from Reus airport, an hour and a half from Barcelona airport, 40 minutes by train or car from the beaches and the Roman city of Tarragona, and under two hours from Barcelona itself.

Martin & Maggie went the extra mile to make our holiday as memorable and enjoyable as possible. Their local knowledge and contacts yield a fantastic range of things to do, places to go and people to meet.

If you want to get away with the kids and be close to the water parks & beaches but not "amongst it", this could be the place for you.

They are calling this area the next Tuscany and I can see why!

Tarragona beach

Posted by chris2005 2 June 2006

The beach in Tarragona is much less crowded than that of neighbouring Barcelona. It is clean and safe, with miles of sand.

Regular trains leave from Barcelona Sants Estacio. Journey time is around 1 hour 15 minutes.
