La Rambla Nova and the Balcó del Mediterrani
Tarragona's postcard view: from Plaça Imperial Tàrraco you walk the whole Rambla Nova, past the Monument als Castellers, the 1915 Mercat Central and the Teatre Metropol decorated by a very young Jujol. It ends at the Balcó del Mediterrani, where tradition calls for touching the iron railing. Flat from start to finish, and free forever.
