The provinces Barcelona and Tarragona offer a lot of different excursion possibilities:

The location of the province of Tarragona, along the Costa Daurada, invites us to ramble along the coast, a coast very known for its quiet and shallow sea (ideal for kids) and for its splendid and beautiful sand beaches.

The cities Salou, Cambrils and the nature reserve of the Delta del Ebro, offer you, beside the sea with+ its crystal clear water, the very famous theme park Port Aventura, the big and famous amusement park, a must for young and old.

In Reus, a city which is situated a little bit more in the interior, we can admire fantastic modernistic buildings on the Plaza Prim and the Casa Navàs.

Tortosa, declared a historic-artistic site because of its medieval, Baroque, Renaissance and Modernist architecture is another city you surely should visit. Its Parador de Turismo, the castle of Zuda (or Suda) is a national monument and an exceptionally good choice of a place to take a rest in the fertile valley of the Ebro.

Meanwhile, the Cistercian Monastery Route, allows you to get know the monasteries of Santes Creus and Poblet in the province of Tarragona, the latter declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
You can continue this unusual tour into the province of Lleida, at the Villbona de les Monges monastery.
