This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a glistening seaside city with a rich story told by its archaeological and architectural gems.

Tarragona is a city located in the south of Catalonia on the north-east of Spain, by the Mediterranean. A number of beaches, some awarded a Blue Flag designation, line the Mediterranean coast near the city. Tarragona is located near the holiday resort of Salou and the theme park PortAventura, one of the largest in Europe. The Roman ruins of Tarraco have been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Part of the bases of large Cyclopean walls near the Cuartel de Pilatos are thought to pre-date the Romans.

My wife and I absolutely LOVED your website and it was a fantastic tool in our planning for our recent trip through Italy. The hotels and all accommodations were perfect and exactly as we requested. We will definitely be using your service again soon as we plan for our trip next summer to Portugal. We've already told many people who have asked what travel agent we used for the planning of our trip...Our answer was... RoutePerfect.com

We had a wonderful time. Whenever we talk about our trip with others, we often start with how cool of a website we found to plan our trip. All of the hotels we booked through you were excellent. We will definitely be using your site again on our next vacation, whenever that may be!
