Tarragona combines a Costa Daurada seafront with the inland Camp de Tarragona and the Priorat wine region to create a varied outdoor offer. Sea kayaking along the Tamarit cliffs and Costa Daurada coves is one of the province's most popular water activities, complemented by stand-up paddleboarding in sheltered bays and dinghy sailing from the coastal marinas. To the south, the Ebro Delta offers hiking and cycling routes through a wetland of exceptional natural value with more than 300 bird species.
The inland part of the province concentrates technical mountain biking routes through Priorat, with terraced vineyard landscapes and rugged slate and quartz relief. Horse riding routes through the Camp de Tarragona and Baix Camp allow a relaxed pace through scrubland and vine country. The city's central position between Barcelona and Valencia puts all these environments within an hour's reach.
Highlights
- • Sea kayaking along the cliffs and coves of the Costa Daurada
- • Technical mountain biking through the rugged Priorat vineyards and slate terrain
- • Hiking and birdwatching in the Ebro Delta wetlands
- • Horse riding through the Camp de Tarragona and Baix Camp countryside
Best time to visit
Spring and autumn are the best times for Priorat mountain biking and Ebro Delta hiking, with pleasant temperatures and fewer visitors.
Practical tips
When mountain biking in Priorat, plan your route with plenty of water as the most technical sections are far from services and sun exposure is high.
