Catalunya experience

Without any doubts Tarragona is my favourite Catalan city. It's a great place to live and to spend holidays: people are extremely kind and helpful and it's always sunny there. What's more, there are a lot of interesting places that are worth to visit.  One of that places is The Wall of Tarragona (cat. Muralles Romanes de Taragona). It was built in the 2nd century B.C. The main role of The Wall was to delimit the municipal boundaries and to protect the city. Originally Muralles had more than 3,500 meters. T oday it has 1,100 meters and is a part of the Archeological Promenade (cat. Passeig  Arqueològic). You can walk along The Wall and admire the beautiful view of all the city.

The Costa Dorada is a beautiful region. It's a perfect place to spend summer. There are a lot of golden beaches where you can bathe in crystal clear water. If you don't have any plans for holidays yet, it's a great idea to go there. The Costa Dorada has more than 200 km of coastline. During summer you can expect a clear sky and very high temperatures....but you don't have to worry, on the coast hot summer temperatures are tempered by cooling sea breezes. The most beautiful and interesting cities that lie along the coast are Tarragona, Salou, Torredembarra and Altafulla. The Costa Dorada is amazing region, perfect for sunbathing and  diving. However, you have to remember that during holidays there are a lot of turists. If you want to go there this summer, book a flight and hotel now ;)

One of the most magnificent historical monument in  Barcelona is the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia. It's a very mysterious and beautiful building which inspired many painters and writers. Moreover, thanks to visit the Gothic cathedral you will learn a lot about the history of Barcelona and Catalonia.  The Barcelona Cathedral is a great example of the Catalan Gothic architecture. It was constructed during three centurys; started in the 13th and was completed in the 15th century. The cloister, which encloses the Well of the Geese (cat. Font de les Oques) was ended in 1448. This is one of the most surprising parts of the cathedral because we can really observe there geese bathing in the fountain.   Other remarkable area in the cathedral is the choir with a beautiful set of carved wooden chairs.  The most famous book inspired by the Barcelona Cathedral is "Cathedral of the sea" written by Ildefonso Falcones. I really recomend ...
