Hostal Forum, Taragona
Ok life is pretty grand here in Taragona. My back is feeling good I’m relaxing drinking Rioja wine after a swim in the ocean. It’s not a complete surprise to come to a Spanish city I’ve never hear of, on the coast and find lovely beaches. We had not expected, however, to encounter a city full of Roman and Medieval ruins. The Roman sights are significant enough to warrant Unesco heritage status. Taragon was a important Roman Provincial town during the Punic Wars in second century B.C. But for those who don’t care so much for ruins or beaches there are numerous cosy cafes where you can pass the time sipping rich, thick chocolate heaven.
Tonight we take the night train to Madrid. Tomorrow we meet up with our Nephew Matthew for the next chapter of our trip.
