Identitat Extra Olive Oil is a manufacturer of oil located in Horta de Sant Joan, a little and very beautiful town in Tarragona Region, in the South of Catalonia. I came to the town to walk around and I found this place, which was wonderful. I could do a guided visit, where one of the owners explained to me the history and the process of production of oils, all very interesting. Also I could do a tasting of the most representative oils of the place and saw a great views of the surroundings. Pitifully, I had not too time and I could not all the visit, so I will return again here in the next future, I hope.

Fantastic visit. We live in the Penedès wine region and we are regular visitors to the Priorat region; this is easily one of the best experiences we have had here. Carlota is a kind and knowledgable guide, she knows the wines and the region inside and out and also has knowledge of the olive oil making process (if anyone is also interested!). The winery's architecture and surroundings are superb, and the wines are one of the best Priorats we have tasted. We did the normal tour, in which you first walk through some of the winery's surrounding vineyards to understand the region and the soil, then you visit the winery's facilities (fermentation tanks, barrel room, bottling line) and you finish with a well-deserved wine tasting. I can't recommend it enough.

5. Catedral Basilica Metropolitana Primada de Tarragona
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,605 reviews
The cathedral is dedicated to St Thecla and is erected at the top of the acropolis or hill of the ancient city. Its construction began in the year 1171 and it was consecrated on 4 July 1331. Its foundations and later architectural development are located on the remains of an ancient Roman construction begun in the second quarter of the 1st century bc. and completed at the beginning of the Vespasian Empire (69-79 AD). The Cathedral is gothic in style. Its floor plan is in the form of a Latin cross, with three naves each with their own apses and transept. The head is of Romanesque tradition with half-point arches supporting the extension of the stone wall and pilasters following the new constructive techniques of the Gothic movement.

The Cathedral of Tarragona faces the visitors with its facade. You can't get around it and photograph it from different angles like Sagrada Familia or Notre-Dame de Paris. Adjacent houses and walls prevent you from seeing the result of a century and a half of construction. The best way to see the entire Cathedral is to go to Torrellas de Llobregat in the Park Catalunya in miniature. The fact that the Cathedral is located in urban development suggests that it was not built on an empty place. Harshly denouncing paganism, the Christians nevertheless quietly parasitized on his achievements. Originally there was a Roman temple dedicated to Octavian Augustus. Converted to Christianity, the Visigoths built the first Church here in the IV century AD. the Arabs also didn`t invent anything and placed a mosque here. By the way, the Moorish set ceilings were preserved in the Cathedral. It is not known exactly when the Cathedral appeared in its current form. The first mention dates back to the XII century. The facade of the Cathedral is Romano-Gothic. The most interesting thing on the facade, in addition to the traditional Gothic rose, is the figures of the apostles (XIV century). By the way, the rose appeared later, because the Cathedral was originally built as a fortress, so the Windows resembled loopholes and were located high. There was little hope for the power of the word of Christ; the thick walls and powerful buttresses were much more significant. I`ve seen similar fortress churches in Montpellier and Toulouse, which once again speaks of the cultural and historical community of Catalonia and French Languedoc. The Cathedral was completed in 1350. However, this doesn`t mean that the interior is Gothic. Renaissance and Baroque chapels were added to the Cathedral in the XIV-XVIII centuries. The main masterpiece inside is a 15th-century altar by Pere Johan, whose bas-reliefs depict the life of Saint Thecla, patroness of Tarragona. In addition to the altar of 5 € (ticket price) , you can see the sarcophagus of Juan of Aragon, wooden pews of the choir of the XIV century, Baroque chapels with intricate stucco, a small Museum and a cloister. However, I passed until 10 am for free, but the Museum and cloister didn`t get there. The Cathedral was definitely worth a visit. The modest size of the facade is disorienting for tourists. The Cathedral is similar to the houses in Amsterdam (there because of taxes): the narrow facade doesn`t suggest how long the house is in reality. So it is here.

Last year when we were in Barcelona, we have seen quite a few of Gaudi monuments and found them very beautiful and interesting. Therefore, when we discovered that there is Gaudi Centre in Reus (birthplace of Gaudi), we decided to make this detour on our way from Tarragona to Valencia. Oh boy, what a nice experience and what an increase of our knowledge of Gaudi. There is a very deep car park nearby but it has very narrow ramps and spaces. Fortunately, our car has a good warning system as otherwise we would have come out with scratches all around. Obviously, the driver was also excellent!
