I recently used this site to book a hotel in Barcelona - we stayed at the Hotel Murmuri which was lovely. It has a great selection in Barcelona and the rest of Spain, including all the Paradores.

With the king of city break destinations and capital of Catalonia, Barcelona, just an hour north, Tarragona gets very little coverage and unjustly in my opinion as this city, though tiny in comparison to its big brother, is well worth a visit and easy to do in a quick weekend trip. Furthermore, with Reus airport (served by Ryanair as Barcelona-Reus) just 15 minutes away, you'll be strolling the Ramblas before you know it.

The old town or Parte Alta (high part) is the most beautiful area and is home to the 12th century Cathedral and much of the Roman remains that make this a UNESCO world heritage site. There's the Plac de la Font which is a big square in front of the town hall and a great place to have a coffee and watch the world go by. The new town has a great Rambla (Rambla Nova) and leads up to a viewpoint (El Balco del Mediterrani) overlooking the Mediterranean and the amazing remains of the Roman amphitheatre.

Tarragona has also seen the recent re-development of its marina area with the aim of attracting super-yachts to the city – it makes for an enjoyable walk and it’s also where to find some of the best places to eat.

It's easy to see everything in Tarragona in a day or two and if you have longer then hire a car and make your way out into some spectacular countryside and wine country of the Priorat.
