Hola! I am Lores. I am friendly, spontaneous, and flexible. I will do my best to tailor a memorable tour for you as my goal is to make you enjoy each and every moment of your stay. I have the pleasure of introducing myself as your tour guide in the Tarragona area. The land of pure mediterraneity: olive oil, vineyards, blue skies and green pine trees! Culture and Nature. Gate of the romans, settlement of Cistercian monasteries, and cradle of renown personalities: Politicians, musicians and artists as the genius Antoni Gaudi, the famous architect of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the last big church under construction. Worldwide! Come over and you will have a peaceful promenade through history, between sea and mountains. Here you can enjoy all kind of artistic styles from roman constructions built 2000 years ago: circus, amphitheater, aqueducts. Medieval churches, cathedrals and villages. And delightful constructions of Art Nouveau. I was born and I live in Reus, as my ancestors did for generations, some of them with outstanding roles in ruling the town from the city council and the chamber of commerce. As my grandfather used to say: "We live in the yolk of the egg", situation, communications, a temperate weather. Reus beside Tarragona is a very alive town, was the second city in Catalonia during the 1800s and early 1900s. Whimsical palaces, factories, hospitals, houses… a very renown commercial area. Known for the motto "Reus, Paris and London" as the price of schnapps was put in these three places. Since I graduated in Tourism studies I have been in the tourism world. Among all my job experiences, I am very proud of having been from the start in 3 outstanding projects that today are giving international credit to the Tarragona land: A Pedagogic Program in the Ebre River Natural Park, The Golf Club Bonmont, and The Thematic Park Port Aventura. As the emperor Adriano said: "Tarraco is the eternal spring" …. and for me it would be a pleasure to be able to show it to you you . See you soon.

Overview of your Tarragona tour
Tarragona, a city full of surprises just waiting to be discovered! Here you can live how magnificent and imposing was the Roman Empire! To walk inside a Roman Circus for 24. 000 persons where chariots were running, or to sit in an amphitheater where gladiators were fighting and Christians were martyred. You can be lost in the charming, narrow alleys of the historical quarter, where the essence of the medieval city remains untouched by time, or enjoy a glass of local vermouth surrounded by over 2000 years of history sitting in a cozy awesome square. This is the true World Heritage of Tarragona! Monuments that transcend time, corners that take us back centuries ago: medieval, modern and modernist eras. Beside its fifteen kilometers of coast with fine golden sandy beaches, crystalline water coves, promenades and one of the most important ports in Europe. The city of Tarragona is pure Mediterranean essence! Come to visit it, and you will enjoy the experience! The old town of Tarragona is a pedestrian area.

My husband and I had a delightful tour with Lores. She communicated well beforehand and was happy to adjust our meeting spot and add a visit to the Roman aqueduct to our tour. She picked us up promptly and shared a wealth of information. Tarragona has a very interesting Roman history and the town done a good job of preserving as much as possible within the old city. Thank you, Lores!

Laura’s tour of the main historical sites in Tarragona, especially the Roman structures was absolutely the best. She’s a great story teller and paced the walking tour perfectly for our curiosity and comfort level. There was so much to explore, we only wished for more time. We would love to return to Tarragona. I recommend any of her tours in the region.

We had a lovely morning in Tarragona with Lores. She was very flexible and changed the itinerary at our request so that we could hire a driver and visit the wonderfully preserved Roman aqueducts before walking through the city. She shared many interesting historical details with me and my teenaged son. We stopped at a lovely local gelato cafe, where she told us about some of the local delicacies. When she heard that my husband and second son would be joining us for lunch after the tour, she suggested a great restaurant in a beautiful location at the base of the cathedral and made reservations for us. It was our favorite meal of the trip! We really appreciated her depth of knowledge and pride in her hometown - it was a gorgeous city with a fascinating history.
