...another Roman theatre!
Today we moved to the Costa Daurada to Tarragona, a city steeped in history and which has the ruins of an ancient Roman theatre which backs on to Mar Mediterrania.
The remains are in reasonable shape and the amphitheatre is still well formed
There are also numerous other ruins around the city which we will seek out over the next two days.
Just like Rome Tarragona has it's own Spanish Steps..
Our first impression of Tarragona is very favourable as there are some well kept streets in the Old Town and I am advised that the shops look interesting! We have seen a lot of ceramics on our trip through Spain but none have matched the beauty of those we saw in a shop here this evening, all being made by the family of the lady serving in the shop.
Unfortunately we don't have enough space in the suitcases to bring some examples home, at least not safely without breaking them so the photos I took will have to suffice.!
I'm also convinced that the Spanish have a fetish with feet or at least shoes as I have never seen so many shoe shops and I swear to God that Sherry has been in most of them!
The wifi is shite at the moment so will cross fingers and post the above before it falls over.
