Illuminated Fountain

Reviewed By C7442MTchrish - Chorley, United Kingdom

Visited on a walk around Salou town in the evening. The area around the beach has an excellent promenade area with fountains, sculptures and gardens; shops, arcades and restaurants are on the opposite side. The fountain is usually on for about 20 minutes and whilst we were there, three varying types of music played as the water "danced" in time to the music. The whole spectacle is free and always well attended. A nice spectacle to take anyone of any age to

Gaudi Centre Reus

The Gaudí Centre Reus is a tribute by the town of this birth to its most famous son. It is the only interpretive centre that deals with the life and works of Gaudí. It is a new facility equipped with the most modern infrastructure and the latest in audiovisual technology, created to open up your senses and mind to new experiences. An experience which allows you to familiarise yourself with Gaudí and the secrets of genius.

Last year when we were in Barcelona, we have seen quite a few of Gaudi monuments and found them very beautiful and interesting. Therefore, when we discovered that there is Gaudi Centre in Reus (birthplace of Gaudi), we decided to make this detour on our way from Tarragona to Valencia. Oh boy, what a nice experience and what an increase of our knowledge of Gaudi. There is a very deep car park nearby but it has very narrow ramps and spaces. Fortunately, our car has a good warning system as otherwise we would have come out with scratches all around. Obviously, the driver was also excellent!

Pont del Diable

Reviewed By VadimM67 - Murmansk, Russia

The Roman aqueduct in Tarragona was my fifth aqueduct after the Valens in Istanbul, the aqueduct in Segovia, the Aqua Appia in Rome, and the famous Pont du Gard near Nimes. The aqueduct of Tarragona or the devil's bridge certainly did not get on the 5-Euro bill like the Pont du Gard, but it is the most picturesque I have seen, even if not the largest. Getting to the Devil's bridge is easy. You need to take the 5 or 85 bus on the ring at the bus station. The aqueduct Park is just 5 km from Tarragona. After getting off at the bus stop of the same name, go right for another 500 meters. And here it is: Wow! There are two things I admire most about Roman aqueducts. The ability of engineers to calculate the slope for many kilometers and the ability of builders to accurately perform it. This is the art of leading water (from Latin: aqua — water and ducere-lead).Roman engineers could determine the slope with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees — that is, 1 m of slope per 1 km of aqueduct. It is not easy to implement this in practice, so to avoid changing the angle of inclination, special reservoirs were created that accumulate and equalize water. The water trough is preserved in the aqueduct here. You can see it if you climb to the top. In fact, it was not necessary to build an aqueduct of this size. It would be possible to lay siphon pipes to the bottom of the gorge, following its profile and then lift it up to a height just below the original level. This is called a hydraulic gradient. Why did the Romans prefer to build giant aqueducts? The size is disorienting. We think if bigger and more massive means more expensive. However, pipes (lead pipes) have cost the Romans more expensive than bridges. Masonry was cheap, due to the cheapness of stone, brick, and mortar. Only if the depth of the gorges was great, the Romans stretched pipes to the bottom,and then up. In our case, the aqueduct is 27 meters high. The water was taken from the Rourell area, 92 metres above sea level, and carried more than ten kilometres The grandiose structure could not but cause mystification in the middle ages, when the Visigoths, and then the Spaniards lost the ability to build such structures. They named the aqueduct the devil's bridge, linking it with the legend that the devil will take the soul of the person who enters the bridge first. Local residents let a donkey on the bridge first... The donkey is not Faust, its soul is not interesting. Now you can walk on the bridge as you like. This is probably the most accessible aqueduct I've ever seen.

This is an excellent theme park, way better than anything in the UK, its very clean and well designed and something for everyone, especially those that seek the thrill of big rides. Height restrictions are spot on as some really aren't suitable for the bravest of younger children. We has express passes as part of hotel package but if you time it right you can avoid lots of queuing without if you take advantage of the late opening times.

Parc Sama

Parc Samà is a garden with memory, a Mediterranean orchard, a poetic forest, a melancholic palace… Parc Samà is the summer residence that in 1881 built Salvador Samà, Marquis of Marianao, between Cambrils and Montbrió, surrounded by vineyards, olive and almond trees. It is the legacy of an ‘Indiano’, a fusion of styles and a delight for the senses.

Reviewed By angelastevensmodel - Manchester, United Kingdom

We spent a lovely morning at Parc Sama situated a short drive away from Cambrils centre. This beautiful Parc has so much to offer and will appeal to many tastes. The Parc has wildlife such as deer which you can feed, peacocks roaming the grounds and turtles swimming in the lakes! There is a magnificent lavender field, a grand Manor House and bridges and pathways that take you on a journey into its past glory. This tranquil haven is complete with different species of plants and trees some of which are rare. There is a small gift shop selling local produce and souvenirs and the place is run by friendly helpful staff.
