Camping in Tarragona - on a Spanish sandy beach

Today we have found a campsite in Tarragona in Spain. The campsite is really nice and located right next to a beautiful sandy beach. Our plan is to stay at this campsite for a few days, among other things to visit Tarragona and to check out the Easter celebrations in Spain.

Camping in Tarragona

Today we have found the campsite Torre de la Mora, just outside Tarragona. The campsite is really nice, with a beautiful beach right outside. We stand right next to the sandy beach, with a thin net in between. There are also motorhome pitches higher up on a hill (in the photo) but they were probably full when we arrived.

We think the Spanish coast is much more beautiful at this end, closer to the Mediterranean coast of France. Here the sand is fine-grained and the surroundings are green. Further south, the beaches are often gravel, and are surrounded by desert landscape and greenhouse. The campsite here, outside the campsite, is magically beautiful with its fine-grained sand and green surroundings.

Visiting Tarragona

You can easily visit Tarragona from the campsite. A short walk from the campsite is a bus stop, where buses run regularly into town and back. Read more about Tarragona, which is a city with a long history and many ancient remains.

Easter celebrations in Tarragona

It's Easter, and Easter is a big holiday in Spain with impressive processions through the cities. Our (ill-conceived) plan was to watch the celebrations in Barcelona, until our blogger friend Annika informed us that Easter celebrations are not very big in Barcelona.

We did some googling and realised that she is very right! Perhaps the best place to watch the processions is in cities like Malaga, Cordoba or Seville, but in "our neighbourhood" Tarragona seemed a good choice. Here you can read more about Easter celebrations in Spain.
