Tarragona: Walls that Speak of Peace, Nikki and Company, Castells Et Al

Walls that speak of peace, in Catalan, entering Tarragona

Tarragona´s Rambla

The Roman ampitheatre by the sea

My host Nikki on the left, and her friends (and mine), Patricia and Alícia, having a look at the petitions (and other things)

Science teachers Alícia (from Catalunya) and Patrícia (from France), who gave me great support. Many thanks, friends!

Where gladiators once battled in Tarragona

Tarragona's cathedral

The Catalan flag, on the left, and Tarragona's flag on the right. The flag in the middle is for an association of Castells (human towers)

Nikki, my host, an independent English teacher and highly competitive padel player. She was also very supportive of my walk, and is now a good friend. Thanks Nikki!


Traditional dancing on the Rambla, on St Jeroni's Day

I found this statue of a castell very impressive...

...until I saw this...

...and this!
