Description
Embark on an unforgettable day trip from Barcelona to explore two of south Catalonia’s most captivating destinations: the historic town of Tarragona and the modernist paradise of Sitges. This guided tour immerses you in Tarragona’s Roman heritage and introduces you to the colorful charm of Sitges, with its artistic streets and stunning coastal views. To end the day, relax at San Sebastian Beach, widely considered one of the best urban beaches in Europe. Your adventure begins with a private transfer from your hotel, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride to these two coastal gems south of Barcelona. Accompanied by an expert guide, you’ll uncover the rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture of both locations. First, you’ll visit Tarragona, along the beautiful Costa Dorada. Known as the ancient Roman city of Tarraco, Tarragona boasts some of Spain’s best-preserved Roman archaeological sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Roman Circus, Roman Forum, and Tarragona Amphitheater. Begin your tour with a visit to the Devil’s Bridge, a stunning Roman aqueduct, 217 meters long and 26 meters high, showcasing advanced Roman engineering. As you walk through the ancient city walls, you’ll discover the remains of the Roman Circus, one of the most well-preserved structures of its kind in Europe. You’ll also visit the Roman Forum, a space that blends ancient ruins with medieval and modern elements. The tour culminates at the Tarragona Amphitheater, located on the Mediterranean coast, where gladiator battles were once held in the 2nd century. After exploring Tarragona, you’ll head to Sitges along the stunning Costa del Garraf. This charming coastal town is a blend of traditional fisherman’s houses and Modernist architecture, attracting artists, writers, and musicians for over a century. On a walking tour, your guide will take you through the town’s labyrinthine streets, where you’ll see Casa Bacardi and Casa del Rellotge, examples of modernist design. You’ll also learn about the “Americanos”, wealthy emigrants who returned from the Americas to build extravagant homes in Sitges. Visit the Church of San Bartolomé and Santa Tecla, the Maricel Palace, and the peaceful Quiet Corner, a plaza where local musicians perform, adding to Sitges’ bohemian atmosphere. The tour concludes with a visit to San Sebastian Beach, known for its beauty. Rated one of the best urban beaches in Europe, you can unwind on one of the beachside terraces or take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. This day trip combines history, culture, and relaxation, offering a unique opportunity to explore Tarragona’s Roman legacy and Sitges’ artistic charm. With private transport and an expert guide, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.Includes
