    Great to hear that you loved Tarragona, we're going in April/May as part of a recce of places to 'retire' and thanks for the tip about local transport. The blue sky is stunning compared to Dublin!

      Have a great time in Tarragona. I think you'll like it. Closer to Barcelona than Valencia and a lot of interesting Roman history.

    Thank you for the heads up about the bird poop scam. We'll be visiting Tarragona in a couple of days and really appreciate knowing this! I loved your sense of humour BTW when talking about the clothing optional beach. It made me laugh! We're looking forward to visiting the ruins. Safe travels!

      Thanks for commenting Roxana. Yes, the bird poop scam was truly amazing. You will enjoy Tarragona. We're in Valencia right now, loving it, and heading to Seville tomorrow, so we'll be on the lookout for whatever potential pitfalls that might befall our viewers. Thanks for watching.

    I’m glad that I saw your video. I’ll be in Tarragona in 2 weeks very first time. Lots of great information! And it looks like that you stayed at the hotel I’m going to stay. Hope you liked it. 😊

    Lived in Tarragona for over a decade and know many expats who live there, and never heard of this.

      It was really funny, actually. I'd read about it but never experienced ti. The guy was really pretty inept. If he was good he would have had a partner to act while we were distracted. Glad you enjoyed your time in Tarragona. It's really a great place.
