Tarragona and Plaja Llarga

Another beautiful sunset in Tarragona

We had no intention on stopping in Tarragona, however we put the co-ordinates in for a wild camping spot given to us by a lovely Dutch couple called Minne and Walter, thinking we would stop there for lunch, however when we arrived it was much better than we imagined and ended up staying four nights on the beach. We met a number of travelling couples of mixed age groups and away for various lengths of time. everybody was very friendly and always keen to offer information of other wild campsites

Plaja Llarga is a popular spot for campers to meet up









Yet another sunset (you never get fed up of them)

 One day we decided to get the bus into Tarragona but it was a half an hour wait so we walked the 4 kms in.  We walked down the Rambles through a Christmas market selling the same stuff as every other xmas market does. we walked down to the produce market to purchase some fresh fruit and veg. On the Sunday we ate in the restaurant nearby along with lots of the local Spaniards and ordered the seafood paella, we somehow managed to scoff the lot! and then strolled along the beach to walk off lunch.
