You will enjoy walking through the streets of this place, especially in the old town, which preserves its medieval spirit: narrow alleys, crowded houses, stone buildings. It is not surprising that it is considered a Cultural Asset of National Interest.

We continue our tour of the most beautiful villages in Tarragona in Siurana, a town that seems straight out of a story. Here time seems to have stopped, something that may have to do with its location. And it is located on a rock surrounded by a precipice which is not easily reached. First you have to go up a winding road that, without a doubt, is worth it, since it is a charming town with cobbled streets where you will fester the remains of the Saracen fortress. In addition, from here you can contemplate beautiful views.

Nor could it be missing from the Montblanc list, one of the most important and beautiful medieval towns in all of Catalonia. Located in the heart of the Cistercian Route, this town offers a valuable architectural, cultural and natural heritage, in addition to a varied tourist offer with numbers activities to make. Its walled enclosure stands out, considered one of the best preserved in this autonomous community.

Santa Coloma de Queralt
Located 60 kilometers from the city of Tarragona, Santa Coloma de Queralt also stands out for the medieval character of its old town, which has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest. But beyond a whole walled, its arcaded squares and the different historical buildings, this town is an excellent starting point for 4 × 4 routes in the surroundings.

Salou

Salou
Finally, we want to talk about a town very different from the previous ones, but also worth knowing. It is Salou, one of the main tourist destinations in the Golden Coast and throughout Catalonia thanks, among other things, to its location. And it is 10 kilometers from Tarragona, 10 kilometers from Reus and next to Cambrils, Vilaseca and La Pineda. The best thing about this place is its more than 3 kilometers of beaches and coves. In addition, it has quality infrastructures and services. The only bad thing is that it has been overly exploited by the tourism sector.
