Tarragona is much more than the city you see from the Mediterranean.
Travel a little beyond it and the landscape begins to explain the place: the sea, the mountains, the rivers, the vineyards and the old routes that have connected them for centuries.
Beyond the city, the landscape begins to tell Tarragona's story.
The coast, the vineyards, the medieval country and the mountains are not separate worlds. Together, they help explain how Tarragona has been travelled, cultivated and inhabited over centuries.
Beaches and small coves, Mediterranean forest, fishing villages and castles standing beside the sea. Here, the landscape opens completely towards the Mediterranean.
From the Conca de Barberà to Montsant and Priorat, soils, altitude and mountains create remarkably different landscapes of wine.
Monasteries, castles, walled villages and old routes reveal how geography shaped the way this territory was travelled, defended and inhabited.
Rivers find their way between mountain ranges, valleys shelter villages and natural passages connect the Mediterranean with the interior.
Follow a river, cross a mountain pass or leave the coast behind, and the different pieces of Tarragona begin to fit together.
