Weather Information Average Temperatures Hours of Sunlight General Information Tarragona is Costa Dorada's main city and has almost doubled in size over the past few decades. An ancient city with a medieval core, and the ruins of a Roman Amphitheatre. There is a wide boulevard called the Rambia Nova which is the modern main street outside the old city walls, here you will find plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to suit most tastes. A visit to the El Serralls harbour is a must, to watch the fishing boats arrive and auction off their catch. Local Food The Costa Dorada is infamous for it's wide variety of restaurants serving British cuisine but it is well worth seeking out the authentic Catilan restaurants serving regional specialities such as 'tapas'. Tapas are small tasty dishes such as Serrano ham, baby stews,casseroles,sausage and vegetable/fish fritters etc etc which are made to accompany drinks and good conversation. With an abundance of fishing harbours along the coast it is no suprise that the sea harvest is the inspiration for many classic Catilan dishes. Spanish seafood dishes include Paella - (a meat, fish and rice dish) and Escalivada - (a cold salad of baked/roasted vegetables with an olive oil dressing) The sparkling Cava wine is synonymous with this region, and don't forget to try a glass or two of Sangria( a drink made with wine,brandy,lenonade and fruit) The local beer is San Miguel and is available in most bars and restaurants.
