Tarragona is a city with a strong cultural identity, built over centuries and visible in its street life, traditions, and heritage. A stroll through the historic center reveals museums, emblematic buildings, and spaces that help to understand the city's evolution from Roman times to the present day. This cultural heritage is combined with deeply rooted popular traditions, such as the castells (human towers), which are an integral part of Tarragona's human and social landscape and reflect the value of shared tradition.
The Gastronomy is another key pillar of the experience. The local cuisine is based on Mediterranean products, with a focus on fish, rice dishes, olive oils, and seasonal vegetables. Among the most recognizable flavors are romesco sauce, closely associated with the city, and calçots, which are especially enjoyed when in season. All of this is complemented by wines with designation of origin, completing a varied and high-quality gastronomic offering.
Culture and gastronomy thus come together in an experience that defines the character of Tarragona throughout the year.
