Best Parks & Green Spaces in Tarragona

Tarragona's largest urban park, stretching along the lower Francolí river next to the Mediterranean. Flat, shaded paths, a fenced àrea d'esbarjo per a gossos and a riverside pedestrian route make it the city's go-to daily walk with a dog. Locals come for jogging at dawn and post-siesta strolls.

A historic green corridor wrapped around the Roman walls in the Part Alta, with shaded pine groves, gravel paths and views into the old city through arrow-slits. Easily reached from Plaça del Rei and a perfect leashed walk that doubles as a Roman-history tour.

A coastal Aleppo-pine forest east of the city, with shaded sandy trails dropping to a string of secluded coves including the well-known Cala Fonda. Leashed dogs welcome on every trail; the coves are off the leash regulation outside summer, but the path itself is a leashed walk.
