Well known for its bucket-and-spade seaside resorts this fascinating corner of Catalonia is laden with secret gems just waiting to be discovered.
In Tarragona, the lively regional capital, you’ll find a city to rival Barcelona but without the tourist crowds – and with spectacular Roman remains. Nearby Reus has some splendid Modernist buildings and a Gaudí museum tracing his roots in the region.
Head north or south and you’re in wine country of Priorat and Cava. Hiking trails among the vines offering stunning scenery to enjoy between tastings - all the elements that make up a fantastic Catalonia holiday.
You’re never far from the coast and here also there are some lesser-known gems such as delightful Altafulla and Ametlla del Mar or elegant Sitges. At the southernmost point awaits the Ebro Delta where a immensely rich birdlife thrives among the rice fields proving a unique eco-system and spectacular views. Head inland and explore medieval Tortosa and Miravet set below the 1500m mountains of Els Ports.
