Reuniting with friends, leisure strolls, barbecues

Reuniting with friends, leisure strolls, barbecues with family, lots of swimming and relaxing, walking the streets of my beautiful cities, enjoying the dishes I grew up with, cooked by my mom, lots of fish… summer is coming to an end, and I will miss it all ☀️⛱️🐠

Strolling the small bays and coves, listening to the waves crashing and choosing the perfect shell in the early evening, when the beaches are quieter and more peaceful, is one of the summer pleasures, today with @david.ander1

One of the most important cities in the Roman empi

One of the most important cities in the Roman empire and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tarragona (Tarraco in Roman times) is rich in history and culture. We traveled there for the day and it wasn't enough time to visit everything we had planned -a perfect excuse to return!

🏟️ With a Roman Amphitheater facing the Mediterranean and dating from the 1st century, a Roman Circus and Pretorium that can be visited, Tarragona Point possesses some of the most ancient ruins in the whole Iberia Peninsula.

🔔 Its cathedral, located on the highest point in the city and build in the 12th century over the ruins of a Roman temple, is a magnificent example of architecture from the Romanesque to the Gothic.

🏟️ In Plaza del Foro, Plaza del Rey and all throughout the old part of town, a number of Roman buildings and ruins from Roman times can be seen, amongst them the Roman Walls that surrounded the city. City Hall Square, lined with restaurants and cafés, the Rambla Nova (the main shopping Street) and the fishermen neighbourhood of El Serrallo were other areas we enjoyed visiting.

📍If you go, don't miss standing at the Balcón del Mediterráneo, the Mediterranean Balcony, a lookout onto the vastness of the Mediterranean, with the Roman amphitheatre in plain sight.
