Description
Trace Roman Tarragona with your guide, then head to the artistic, colourful soul of Sitges for lunch by the sea and a walk by the coast. Two of Catalonia's most compelling stops in one day.
Set out from Barcelona on a private full-day trip that links two very different sides of Catalonia: the Roman grandeur of Tarragona and the artistic seafront charm of Sitges. Travel in a private vehicle with a local guide as you move from ancient amphitheatres and city walls to Mediterranean promenades and colourful old streets. This is a day of layered history, coastal scenery, and time to enjoy each stop at an easy pace.
Your first stop is Tarragona, once known as Tarraco, one of the most important Roman cities in Iberia. Walk through a UNESCO-listed ensemble of monuments as your guide brings the city’s past into focus. See the Roman walls and Archaeological Promenade, visit the circus and Praetorium Tower, and stand above the sea at the Roman amphitheatre. Along the way, pass through the medieval old town and discover how later centuries were built over Roman foundations.
In the afternoon, continue to Sitges, a coastal town shaped by fishing traditions, artistic life, and seafront elegance. Pause for lunch, with local recommendations that may include xató, a regional dish made with escarole, salt cod, tuna, anchovies, and a rich nut and pepper sauce. Then explore the historic centre, learn about the Americanos and the town’s colonial links, and visit key sights tied to Santiago Rusiñol and local religious traditions. The day finishes at the Palau Maricel viewpoint before the drive back to Barcelona.
