Tarragona

On Friday I drove to Tarragona to see the Roman ruins there. In order to see more of the country I drove along the coastal road. This was the old roman road connecting all the cities along the coast. I've been reading a history of Catalaña and have found that it is a much more important place in the history of Spain than I had thought. Tarragona was a major roman city and much of the ruins still remain, but most of the city is now built on top of what used to be the roman city. I went to the archeological museum which was excellent and had some amazing mosaics that had been removed from villas around and in the city.
