Barcelona and Tarragona


A short report from when I went to Spain again last weekend! This trip was a bit less active than thelast one, mainly because it was just too hot to do anything. We did go to a town called Tarragona, about 100km from Barcelona, 15€ for a return ticket from the city center. Definitely worth checking out if you're going to spend more time in this area.Pleated Prom Dress
The beaches are absolutely stunning. Extremely calm and quiet compared to Barcelona or Sitges. Whereas I'd never leave my stuff unattended on the beach in BCN, it felt safe enough to both go into the water and just keep an eye on our belongings. Lots of families and couples on this beach.
This is a town that you can see most of within a few hours. It's really small but it has a lot of beautiful old buildings from Roman times. The area around Tarragona is supposed to be even more stunning, but alas, we can't drive.

Thanks for all of your Barcelona tips after my last post! I'll certainly have enough to do this time around and lots of yummy things to eat. 

Tonight I'm going to Pitch festival here in Amsterdam, should be lots of fun! I'm gonna see Django Django, James Blake, Junip, Disclosure, Azealia Banks, Chvrches and tons of other cool things.
