Beach and hills at the same time

Reached Tarragona in the evening. Every city on this trip had been noticeably different from the last, and Tarragona was beach and hills at the same time. Dinner at a hotel nearby, pizza and pasta again, which we were fine with. Walked out to a cliff viewpoint after and had gelato with the sea below us. By the time we were done wandering the streets the shops were shutting for the night. Called it there.

Spent the next day walking the city. Roman ruins scattered through the old town, the kind of thing that stops you mid-step because you were not expecting a Roman wall on the way to a cafe. Good beach views from higher up. In the middle of a small plaza we came across a sundial that was still doing its job. A lot of beautiful streets in general. Later that afternoon we caught the train to Barcelona.
