Tarragona Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Portaventura pleasure

PortAdventure Theme Park, Salou Highlights - Shambhala Rating 5/5 We spent the day at the theme park, a group of 5 adults and our baby. We over all had a good day, there was so much to do that we could not visit everything. I would recommend coming here, though if possible I would say 2 or 3 days ia best to get the full experience. We missed out on all of the shows and most of the rides, purely because the park is so large you simply can not get around to everything in a day. The rides we went on where good, the best being the Shambhala. As someone who has visited many theme parks and been on many rides, I can say with certainty that the Shambhala is one of the best rides I have been on to date. Alongside the rides, there are many shops, shows and areas to relax, with picturesque waterfalls and features throughout. #portadventura #spaintravel #spain

SexyCat, Salou

SexyCat, Salou Bar and restaraunt based on the front strip of Salou. Here, the food and drinks are reasonably priced, except if you want buy bottles. Jagèr per bottle is around €95 The design is very niche, and the bathroom is even finished to a magnificent standard. The staff were well spoken and respectful. I would visit here again#salon #sexycat #spain Carrer de Bilbao, 8, 43840 Salou, Tarragona

I have to say that picking up a pretty good level of Spanish, by myself, without any classes, whilst I was travelling through Latin America, is definitely one of the travel moments I’m most proud of. With only the help of my trusty Lonely Planet phrasebook, I made a real and concerted effort to pick up this local language day in, day out, while I was travelling in this incredible part of the world #themepark

I really this atmosphere beautiful attraction and lovely view. #water #spain #Love couple 🥰#spain

A modernist dream in Reus

About one hour drive south from Barcelona, the small city of Reus, is a cradle for modernist architecture. This city is not only the birthplace of the genius Antoni Gaudí, but it also has Europe’s most stunning interior of a modernist building: Casa Navàs. Designed by Lluis Domenech i Montaner, one of the most prominent architects of the time - with Gaudí’s permission of course - this monument boasts the largest amount of colored stain glass all over European modernist artworks. Casa Navàs is located in the central square of Reus, walking distance from the train station or most of parking spaces in town. It can be visited through a guided tour that lasts about 1 hour. In this tour you will learn about Reus’ industrial past and the bourgeois family who used to own this house. It is also a great experience to understand the inspiration behind its rich decoration as well as the rational usage of architectural elements and glass in order to allow for natural light to come into the house. 🏡Casa Navàs 📍Plaça del Mercadal, 5-7, 43201 Reus, Tarragona 🎟️ 12€ for the guided tour visit 🕗 Mon - Fri 11:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 Saturday 11:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00 Sunday 11:0 to 15:00
