Tarragona Day Trip

On Friday, September 15, BCEA had an included day trip to the Roman town of Tarragona.

We spent a beautiful and sunny day in this coastal town.

In the morning we had a very interesting guided tour of Tarraco, the old Roman city. We visited the Archeological Boulevard and the Roman Walls, the Pretorium, the Roman Circus and the amphitheatre. We were even able to see a typical religious Spanish wedding in the cathedral of Tarragona!! As they came out of the church, the bride and groom were showered with rice ( instead of confetti)!!

The town was in the midst of celebrating the Santa Tecla Holiday, ( Santa Tecla is Tarragona´s patron saint) and many activities were taking place around downtown.

For lunch we had some spanish specialities, such as paella, seafood and tapas.

We spent the afternoon on the beach, swimming and laying about the sand!! It was just a perfect day!!!
