The Cathedral of Tarragona

A row of statues of the apostles by the main entrance to the cathedral

The cathedral though not as ornately decorated as other Catholic Cathedrals, had certain aspects which reminded me of the Cathedral of Reims in France, the rows of statues of the apostles being some of them.

A statue of the Madonna and child right by the main entrance to the cathedral

Here's the entrance to the walled city of Tarragona. I originally thought it was just Avila which had walls. It turned out there were a few other cities as well scattered all over Spain.

The entry way to Pallol Square and the Roman walls

The balcony which forms part of every Spanish styled apartment building I have seen in most Spanish cities

Roman walls from the 2nd and 3rd century BC

How I wished we had time to swim here at this beach. It wasn't nearly as busy nor crowded as the beaches of Sitges in Barcelona.

Greece? No, Tarragona.

At the Roman amphitheater

Walking down the steps towards the arena of the amphitheater

That's the city of Tarragona on top of a hill.
