There will be no pictures or descriptions of monasteries in this post, though that has more to do with the Spanish having an incredible number of roundabouts and no sense of posting directions to tourist destinations that are less than 10 km away.
So instead I will post a few quick pictures from the nearby town of Tarragona, a pleasant but crowded little city about 100km south of Barcelona along the coast. Tarragona still boasts a few ruins that date back to the Roman Empire when it was called Tarraco and was an important port on the Mediterranean.

| The Forum, a smaller but similar version to Rome's. |

| A part of the city wall, some of which is thought to predate the Romans |

| This mini colosseum was beautifully situated along the water and still is in pretty good condition. |
