The Anderson share their daytrip to Tarragona and Sitges

On Thursday I took the Anderson to Tarragona and Sitges. They have been traveling for over a month now, taken 2 different cruises and spend several days in two of their favorite cities: Istanbul, and of course, Barcelona.But their ship brought them back to our city, and they took the opportunity to explore one more Roman site in their trip: Tarragona, and on the way back, we planned to stop in Sitges for lunch.

My favorite driver, Ramon, and I picked them up at the cruise pier and drove them to Tarragona. Seing their genuine interest on the Roman heritage, we decided to stop in two little-known Roman sites: the stone quarry of the Mèdol, and the aqueduct of Les Ferreres. Then we arrived to Tarragona, and had a nice walk along the Roman city walls. We then entered the Old Town, and passed the Cathedral where we stopped to see some interesting details of its façade (the interior is being restored and we decided not to go in). We stopped in the square of the Roman forum for a coffee and hot chocolate, and then continue to the Praetorium Tower and so the Circus from outside. We finally walked to the Amphitheater before rejoining the driver and leaving Tarragona. On our way to Sitges, right outside of Tarragona, we also stopped for a picture of the Scipions Tower and the Arch of Triomph.

When we arrived to Sitges, we were ready for lunch and we ate in a very fun restaurant overlooking the beach. It was a cloudy day, and the waves were quite impressive!
After lunch, we had a walk along the waterfront and then we entered the Old Town. As you will have noticed, the Anderson love taking pictures of small details in the streets (windows, door knockers, balconies, streetlamps…), and the alleys of Sitges where a paradise for them! We finally arrived to the beach of St. Sebastià and had a coffee in an outdoors café before meeting Ramon, our driver, and heading back to Barcelona where we dropped them in their hotel (as in the morning we had collected them with the luggage at the pier).
