School trip to Tarragona

A school trip to Tarragona offers students a balanced combination of historical discovery, cultural learning and time in nature.

Barcelona provides a clear starting point for understanding the region: the Gothic Quarter, the Sagrada Família and Parc Güell introduce urban history, architectural styles and the imagination of Antoni Gaudí. These visits help students connect visual details with broader historical themes.

Tarragona then reveals the structure of an ancient Roman city through its amphitheatre, circus, forum and defensive walls. Exploring these places gives students an accessible way to visualise daily life in the Mediterranean during antiquity.

The Ebro Delta brings a complete change of scenery. Its wetlands, canals and rice fields make it an ideal site to observe biodiversity and understand how ecosystems develop along the Mediterranean coast. A hands-on paella workshop adds a practical cultural element that students always enjoy.

The programme ends at Poblet Monastery and the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, providing a final contrast between medieval architecture and modern artistic expression.
