Hi, my name is Hayley! I am from London in the UK and have been living in the beautiful, historical town of Tarragona for several years in addition to Sabadell (another Catalan city) for 3 years prior to that. I have a degree in Hispanic Studies (this includes Spanish and Portuguese languages, culture, history and linguistics) from Queen Mary University of London. In addition to tour guiding, I am also a Languages Teacher by profession. It is my passion for other cultures and languages which is what brings me to Spain, and the rich history and Mediterranean sea that brings me to Tarragona :) I am an avid traveller myself so I am aware of what is interesting to tourists when visiting a new place and aim to create the experience I would want for myself when tourguiding others. In addition to having travelled to many places across the world, I have also lived in the Middle East (Bahrain), studied in Portugal, attended work experience in Italy and have lived in 3 other Spanish cities: Salamanca, Almería and Melilla (a Spanish enclave in North Africa). As someone who is passionate about languages, I also studied Italian and Arabic outside of my degree and now I am working on Catalan :) But I also have many other hobbies asides from learning languages and travelling e.g. art (painting and drawing), history, music, dance, singing and composing music, playing the guitar, sport and martial arts (I am a black belt in Taekwondo). One of the things I love most about tour guiding, is being able meet new people from all around the world so we can share and learn new things from one another! :)

I was born in Tarragona. It is a beautiful city with a great culture, that I love. I want to explain about the rich History of the city, and the costums of the inhabitants.

Must-Visit Places on a Free Walking Tour Tarragona in Winter

Winter in Tarragona offers a unique charm, with fewer crowds and a serene atmosphere perfect for exploration. As you wander through the city, make sure to visit the enchanting Plaza de la Font, where you can warm up with a cup of hot chocolate from one of the local cafés. During this season, the plaza often hosts festive decorations and events, creating a lively ambiance that captivates both adults and children alike. Additionally, children will delight in the nearby Parc de la Ciutat, where they can enjoy the fresh air and play in the open spaces while parents take in the winter scenery.

Many restaurants in the area offer this treat, making it a must-try for food enthusiasts. As the sun sets, the city illuminates its historic sites, so take a leisurely evening stroll along the Via Augusta, where you can admire the beautifully lit ruins that tell stories of the past, all while enjoying the crisp winter air.
