Tarragona

Eric, my roommate, has two friends in town for spring break. So we decided to take a quick day trip after class to Taragona. It was a quick 1hr train ride south of the city. Every time i get on a train out of Barcelona i love it because the surrounding areas quickly change from city to something else. In this case the train rode the beautiful rock coast. The water changed to an almost tropical look and the rock sides looked like something you seen in a magazine. The town of Tarragona was a small, extremely clean town with midevil and roman ruins which were left in the center untouched. After we viewed that it took us like 45min to get to the beach due the train tracks strategically blocking the whole shore. We had to walk close to a mile down just for a passage way. But once we overcame that obstacle we had a typical Spanish day of Frisbee and sunbathing in 60 degree rays before heading home to Barca
