Train
Tarragona has recently gained a swanky new train station, Camp de Tarragona,
that's more like a state-of-the-art airport than a mere train station, but alas, although
lots of money was pumped into its construction, little thought was given to location
and it's now an annoying 20-minute taxi ride out of the centre (around €24 in a taxi
or €2.70 on one of the hourly buses from the bus station; the first bus departs at
6am and the last at 11.20pm). If you're just staying local, at least 16 regional trains
per day run to/from Barcelona's Passeig de Gràcia via Sants. The cheapest fares
(for regional and Catalunya Express trains) cost €13.80 to an average of €20 and
the journey takes one to 1½ hours.
ZARAGOZA
POP 674,317
Zaragoza (Saragossa) rocks and rolls. The feisty citizens of this great city on the
banks of the mighty Río Ebro make up over half of Aragón's population and they
live a fairly hectic lifestyle with great tapas bars and raucous nightlife. But Zaragoza
is more than a city that loves to live the good life: there's a host of historical sights
spanning the great civilisations that have left their indelible mark on the Spanish
soul.
