Tarragona

is a city located in the south of catalonia on the north-east of spain, by the Mediterranean. It is the capital of the province of the same name  and of the tarragonès comarca. Geographically, it is bordered on the north by the province of Barcelona and the province of Lleida. The capital city has a population of 134,085 inhabitants.
The Roman ruins of Tarraco have been designated a world heritage site by unesco. Tarragona is home to a large port and the universitat rovira i virgili. Much of its economic activity comes from a large number of chemical industries located in the city or in surrounding areas.
The main living heritage is the Popular Retinue, a great parade of dances, bestiary and spoken dances- and the human towers. They specially participate in Santa tecla. They are so popular in Tarragona and also in all Catalonia that they have got their own home. Tarragona has a mediteranean climate  with mildly cool winters and warm summers. Autumn and spring tend to be the wettest time of the year, whilst winter and summer have relatively drier days. this is my citiy and i am very proud
