Tarragona & Glamorous Sitges

Duration: 10,5 hours

Tarragona, the old Roman capital of the Iberian Peninsula. Travel back in time and retrace the footsteps of Roman gladiators where chariots raced by and walk across the magnificent Roman aqueduct. See the Old Quarter with its stunning cathedral. Then visit Roc de Sant Gaieta, a tiny Mediterranean village with its mix of Ibizan fishermen's houses, Seville-style patios, and Roman-Greco influence. Finally, you travel to Sitges to discover the Mediterranean atmosphere of this old fishermans village with its shady streets, traditional houses, over a dozen beaches, cosmopolitan bars and restaurants.

We specialise in small tours and in making every tour the kind of intimate experience you would normally only find by travelling independently.

This tour is only available in English

You will also have an opportunity to go swimming in Sitges, so if you want, bring your swimming costume and a beach towel.

All return times are approximate.

The tour leaves Barcelona at 08.30 and heads straight down to Tarragona, the old Roman Capital. Our first stop is just past Tarragona where you will discover the impressive Roman Aqueduct (1st century BC) popularly known as El Pont del Diable (The Devil's Bridge) or Les Ferreres Aqueduct.

From the aqueduct we travel back to Tarragona quietly entering the old part of the city through a narrow gateway in the ancient walls. Starting at the Archaeological walkway, you will be able to admire the surviving stone walls, wander through the historic old quarter - passing the medieval hospital - before stopping at the Cathedral where you can enjoy the Sunday morning antique market.

And last, but certainly not least, enjoy the breathtaking seaview over the Roman amphitheatre and imagine gladiators battling each other to the death!  At 12.30 we leave Tarragona and stop briefly at Roc de Sant Gaieta, an intimate little village built on the rocky shoreline.

We will arrive at Sitges at 14.00. This once quiet fishing village today boasts a long and sandy beach, groovy boutiques, and a handful of interesting sights.  After a leisurly Sunday lunch you might want to head off to one of the seventeen beaches the town has to offer. We will meet again at 18.00 and return to Barcelona, arriving in Placa Catalunya at approximately 19.00.
