The Tarragona City Guides cover the questions a visit raises: where to eat fish that came off the El Serrallo boats that morning, how to see Roman Tarraco without queuing, which beaches the city’s own families pick and where the Part Alta goes after midnight. Every guide is a short list with a clear opinion, telling you why each place is worth it, what to order or look for and one useful tip. It opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
El Llagut
Carrer de Natzaret, by Plaça del Rei
A rice house of barely 30 seats that buys its fish at the Serrallo auction. Order the fisherman’s rice or the black rice with crab and clams, and pick a wine from a small producer in the province. From the food guide.
Balcó del Mediterrani
End of the Rambla Nova
An iron railing high above the beach where the amphitheatre, the port and the coast to the north fit into one view. Touch the metal for luck as locals do, and come back for sunrise. From the things to do guide.
Cala Fonda
Bosc de la Marquesa, 35 min walk from Platja Llarga
Locals call it Waikiki: a sandy cove between two limestone headlands with clear water and nothing built around it. The only way in is a walk through the pines, which keeps the crowds small. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Play the game, then let the guides take over
World City Trail’s Tarragona scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. Once you finish, the guides carry on: a rice lunch in the Part Alta, a vermut by the fishing boats of El Serrallo, a train to the Costa Daurada beaches or a free museum when it rains.
