About

Get picked up at your accommodation in Barcelona city center, by your guide in a private vehicle to drive to Tarragona, once the Roman empire’s Spanish capital. Travel approximately one hour 15 minutes along the Balearic Coast before arriving at the ancient city, where your walking tour begins. On the road, admire the impressive Aqüeducte de Les Ferreres– a Roman Aqueduct. Also called 'The Devil’s Bridge', this structure, 700+ feet long (217m) and almost 20 feet high(26m), is a spectacular example of Roman advanced engineering.

Explore the remnants of Tarragona 2,000-year-old city walls, circus (event space) and Roman forum, some of which are hidden beneath buildings from the nineteenth century and later. Learn fascinating historical facts and anecdotes from your guide as you stroll to Tarragona's impressive amphitheater, which once played host to bloody gladiatorial combat. Tarraco (Old Tarragona) was an important site thanks to its privileged location on the sea. This tour ends in the so-called balcony of the Mediterranean, a terrace from where you can enjoy the most beautiful views of the beach and the ocean, eternal backdrop of this town steeped in history.
