Tarraco Viva - The Roman Capital of Hispania comes alive

Starting today, May 5,  and running through May 15th the city of Tarragona, just an hour south of Barcelona, is hosting its annual Tarraco Viva festival. The festival recreates the moments when the city was the  Iberian penninsula's most important, and features live performances, seminars, Roman shops, and Roman era foods. 

2000 years ago, when Barcelona was just a military outpost along the Via Augusta, the city of Tarraco (now Tarragona) was in full splendor. And when you are there don't miss the surviving remnants to the Roman city, including the Amphitheater, Roman Forum, the Tower of Scipio, Arch of Bera and the city's National Archeological Museum
