Europe Continued - Cartagena and Tarragona Spain

 We visited the ancient city of Cartagena Spain (not Columbia).  The stairs down into the Roman Theatre (built 5-1 BCE) were very steep.

Our next port of call was Tarragona.  We walked the medieval Old Town.



We would come to the end of our cruise in Barcelona where we left the ship and spent a few extra days.

To be continued.

  18. Great photos Christine. We've been to northern Spain but fancy exploring more. We went on a road trip when my daughter was 6 months. Drove all the way down to the port in England, ferry over to France, drove all down France then to Spain. We were visiting my friend. I met her on Blogger in the early 2010s through my nail polishes blogs and we exchanged numbers in 2017 and visited in 2019. I am hope we can get back to see her again soon. :-D
