Who said that Sunday afternoons needed to always be lazy? This Sunday, we decided to explore the nearby city of Tarragona- around 90km south of Barcelona. We heard there were some Roman ruins, and a decent coastline...and decided to go and discover the rest.
The photos below pretty much speak for themselves. There was a lovely amphitheatre, which sadly we could not walk around; however, we could still appreciate the ocean backdrop, and Roman-esque trees and gardens around it. We also found our own Roman ruins, or what seemed exclusive to us- an overgrown square, with stunning views of the coastline below, making sure that we felt the sun on our face right up until sunset.
As we walked back to town (the very scenic route, due to a lack of bridges), we wondered why there was a massive white circle behind the ruins we had just visited. Of course, we quickly realised that it was the MOON- but it just seemed too close, and too big, to be the actual moon. But, sure enough, it kept rising before our very eyes, resting on a pink-purple sky. Who knows why it was so big...full moon, super-moon, or maybe just right place, right time.
We finished off our evening with vermouths and bravas in the Placa de la Font- one of the bigger plazas- and Turkish food at a fantastic Turkish restaurant, Istanbul, decorated with the same cozy warm colours that we had just witnessed in the dusky sky.
Definitely worth a day trip on a not-so-lazy Sunday...
