For a refreshing change from the beach, head inland to visit the nature parks, such as Els Ports or the Ebro Delta. In these protected sanctuaries, you can go walking, cycling or even kayaking amid forests full of flowers, to be at one with nature.
As for the picturesque villages, here you’ll want to linger in the shade of medieval castles or Roman ruins, such as those of Calafell or Tarragona.
And of course there’s the famous theme park in Salou, Port Aventura, where adrenalin seekers can enjoy some of the fastest rides and tallest roller coasters in Europe. Crazy sensations and laughter all round, to be shared with family or friends!
