Day 3 Tarragona y la playa

This morning we visited the beautiful nearby town of Tarragona, one of the earliest Roman settlements in Spain. It is famous for its impressive Roman remains, including the amphitheatre, circus, city walls and aqueduct. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 and is also famous for its castells, the famous human towers.

After visiting the amphitheatre and Circ Pretori, the pupils took part in a group selfie challenge, inspired by our amigos in Ballyclare High. The pupils threw themselves into the challenge, to the astonishment and delight of local shopkeepers and dog walkers who ended up featuring in the photos. 

After a quick lunch, we headed to the beach, for a brilliant afternoon swimming in the sea

Day 2 evening

Our favourite way to end each day, at the beach then home via the shops. There was American football, football, as well as a paddle in the sea for many. 

Day 2 Montserrat and Camp Nou

Lots of tired faces at breakfast this morning, despite settling well last night. Firstly, we headed to Montserrat, getting the cable car up to the monastery. The views were spectacular. Then we headed to McD’s for a quick lunch before going to Camp Nou for the Spotify Immersive Experience. 

Several purchases later, we got the coach back to the hotel and many headed straight for the pool to cool down. We’ve just had dinner and are heading to the beach and the shops.
