Tarragona and Salou Trip

Went to Salou and Tarragona this past weekend. Did not take many pictures at Salou but here are some that others took.






On our way back to Barcelona we also stopped at PortAventura which is a popular theme park in Spain. It was similar to Epicot with the different regions of the world (China, Polynesia, Mexico...). Scary part was that is hosts the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Europe!






Tarragona was nice as well. The city was not as crowed as Barcelona and it was nice to walk around with ease. This is the first city outside of Rome that Romans built anything. There is a combination of Roman and Gothic work. This city is filled with historical and religious sites. Also the only place where you can sit and have lunch in a 2000 year old roman building.
