ON FOOT IN TARRACO -AROLA
10 WALKS AND EXCURSIONS
SANS, S / LOPEZ-MONNE, R / PRADES, H.
The great epigraphist Geza Alfoldy spoke of Tarraco as an open city, similar to Rome, a place of attraction for people from all over Hispania and the rest of the Roman Empire. Tarraco offered opportunities to prosper, a pleasant climate and a hospitable society; in short, it was a place in which you could live well. This guide, On Foot in Tarraco, aims to bring you closer to this great Roman urbs in the company of real people who lived here during that period. They will introduce you to their city and accompany you as you get to know it and its surrounding countryside or ager. It is our modest hope that this guide will contribute to establishing a new idea about the city and its territory, based on the best of its past and emphasising the qualities of everything we share as heirs to the great classical civilisation that, like Tarraco, arose from the Mediterranean.
