Tarragona Turisme — Attraction in Tarragona

Travel through Northern Spain Part2.

A must see is the largest collection of toy soldiers in the world, housed in the The Museo de los Soldaditos de Plomo in Valencia

The museum holds a collection of more than 85,000 toy soldiers and miniature figures on display in intricate dioramas and displays and that's not all, talking to the museum director he told us that it only represents 10% of the entire collection which is held in storage.

The indoor food market is world renowned & it really has to be seen to be believed, if you are a foodie, don't miss this trip.

We had a great Valencian Paella lunch in the heart of the old city, Valencian paella has no seafood and is based on chicken with rice and is delicious.

If you are able, don't miss the Las Fallas de Valencia parade (15th - 19th March which winds way from the Cathedral throughout the city heart.

The Costumes that the traditional Valencian wear is spectacular, considered the richest traditional regional costume in Spain. So spectacular that it can cost many thousands of euros.

If you are here during Las Fallas you will see plenty of it on the street. At other times of year, you can still see it at every small occasion, such as a local fiesta or just an occasional parade or a wedding.

These costumes mean a lot to the Valencians and they use every opportunity to show them - here it is still in fashion. You will also pass many shops in the center where they are made and sold.

At the end of the parade you are showered with fresh rose petals from the rooftops, an amazing end to a fabulous day.

Extended our stay there from 4 nights to 6 as there was so much to do and see here.This gave us time to visit Montserrat the famous monastery built into the side of a mountain, the train journey was amazing travelling up the mountain & the last part we were transferred to a funicular to reach the top.

We managed to arrive in time to hear the daily choir presentation in the monastery which was very special.

Then moved North to Girona, another small Spanish medieval town.

Once again great to explore & from there we took 30 min train trip to Figueres to see the famous Salvador Dali Museum which was certainly worth a visit.

Salvador Dali persuaded the Spanish government to house all of his works in a spectacular display inside the former Municipal Theatre which now sknown as the Dali Museum, Dali preferred to call it his display! a must visit for Dali fans.

Sadly one of his best known works Christ of Saint John of the Cross is not here but is housed in Kelvingrove museum in Glasgow, but you can see at the base of the painting, a representation of Port Lligat, just up from Figueres, Dalis beloved coastal retreat. and the site of his house.

Passeggiare oggi lungo le strade di Tarragona, significa rivivere la grandezza degli antichi Romani, che la fondarono. Infatti, l’insieme archeologico della città è stato riconosciuto, dal 2000, Patrimonio mondiale dell'umanità dell’UNESCO. Molto stupore suscita per il suo stato di conservazione, l’anfiteatro romano, costruito nel II secolo d.C. e utilizzato per le lotte tra gladiatori e bestie o per le esecuzioni. Abbarbicato su un costone roccioso sul mare, attualmente presenta gran parte delle gradinate e dell'arena. Completano le antiche vestigia, le mura, che sin dal III sec. a.C. difendono la città, il Foro Provinciale, il Circo e il Teatro. Nel Museo Nazionale Archeologico sono conservati, invece, gli oggetti di epoca romana ritrovati durante gli scavi. Merita una visita anche la Cattedrale di Santa Tecla, che si trova nella parte alta della città, sulle rovine di un antico tempio romano dedicato...
