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.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24692
