Roser Festivities
From Tuesday, October 6 to Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Festes del Roser celebrate their 101st anniversary (1925-2026), a milestone that demonstrates the matchless strength of tradition and community spirit in our city. At TGNA Tarragona Apartaments, we are deeply committed to Tarragona and actively collaborate throughout the year with leading local organisations such as the Associació de Veïns del Carrer Merceria i Voltants, the Amics de la Part Alta, and the Geganters del Passeig Torroja. A commitment reflected in our sponsorship and support for flagship initiatives such as Carnival events, the Sant Magí giant gathering, the Concurs de Castells (Human Towers Competition), and our ongoing participation in the Festes del Roser. This year, we have collaborated in designing 4 new banners that join the 10 commemorative banners displayed from Carrer Merceria to Plaça del Fòrum. These newly created banners pay tribute to the most cherished symbols of Catalan popular culture, from the iconic giants and big-heads, to the Catalan pubilla and the Ball de Bastons (Stick Dance), concluding with the Colla Xiquets de Tarragona human towers group. The Part Alta (Old Town) is also our home. We continue working enthusiastically on our new apartment building project, TGNA Merceria 2, which, although it requires time to respect the historical environment, archaeology, and construction process, we hope to see completed around 2028. In the meantime, we will keep standing shoulder to shoulder with the neighbourhood to keep our traditions alive.

Concurs de Castells de Tarragona with TGNA
The city of Tarragona is preparing to host the 30th edition of the Concurs de Castells, the most important event on the human towers calendar. At TGNA Tarragona Apartaments, we are collaborating once again for the second time, aiming to consolidate this partnership and continue growing together in future editions. In fact, over these weeks, we are strongly feeling the scale of the event through accommodation bookings, driven by strength, balance, courage, and wisdom. At our apartments, we are already receiving direct bookings from castellers arriving from all over Catalonia and various corners of the world, ready to give their all both at the international human towers day in Plaça de la Font and at the major events on Saturday 3/10 and Sunday 4/10 at the Tarraco Arena. The Concurs de Castells in Tarragona is experienced in our apartments Beyond the activity in the town squares, the event moves to social media once again with the “Concurs del Concurs” on Instagram. The contest will be active from September 27th to October 5th and proposes two official hashtags to participate: #MomentConcurs, for photos, and #ConcursEnMoviment, for videos in reel format. Furthermore, as collaborators of this human towers initiative, TGNA Tarragona Apartaments is contributing two two-night stays at our apartment buildings TGNA Cervantes 8 and TGNA Reial 1 as prizes. These stays will serve to recognize the best images shared by the public and by the members of the colles castelleres themselves. Book your apartment in Tarragona and experience the Concurs de Castells However, beyond opening your camera and trying your luck on social media, enjoying a weekend of this scale requires having good accommodation to rest and prepare meals. Late September with Santa Tecla and early October with the Concurs de Castells are days of intense activity, and having a private space in the city center makes all the difference during your cultural stay. Therefore, if you plan to experience this great human towers event up close, we invite you to check the availability of our accommodations and book directly on the TGNA Tarragona Apartaments website to secure the best accommodation in the center of Tarragona.
Castellarnau: from Vall Ferrera to Tarragona
If you are planning to spend a holiday in Tarragona or in the Vall Ferrera, you will quickly discover that the sea and the mountains share surprising connections. The Costa Daurada and the Pyrenees have always been linked by a network of paths and river corridors that shaped Catalonia. This historical bond is perfectly reflected in the Castellarnau lineage. Leading this commercial, patrimonial, and family enterprise was Carles de Castellarnau i Castellarnau, known as Ramonet—a man who knew how to turn iron into an economic driver along the Mediterranean coast. Thanks to his trade and expertise in the extraction, processing, and marketing of iron, Carles de Castellarnau established commercial alliances and acquired real estate properties as safe-haven assets—functioning much like a modern holding company, real estate investment trust, or ETF fund—expanding his influence to become one of the most powerful figures of the 18th century in Catalonia. Today, this rich legacy has been transformed into a cultural itinerary that we invite you to explore at your own pace, following the footsteps of this family from the iron forges of the Vall Ferrera to their residential palace in Tarragona. Who was Carles de Castellarnau Carles de Castellarnau i de Castellarnau, affectionately known within his family circle as Ramonet, was the heir to the main branch of this Pallars lineage in Alins, located in the Vall Ferrera A man of great practical vision, his life was closely tied to iron production—a craft he modernized and expanded far beyond the Pyrenees. Under his leadership, the Castellarnau family boosted the iron production capacity of the Pyrenees while managing vast tracts of land, forests, and mines to secure the charcoal supply, despite ongoing legal disputes. Beyond the traditional Catalan forge, his boldness led him to control the transport and trade of the metal by opening river and trade routes that directly connected the mountains to the key coastal ports. His permanent move to Tarragona was sealed by his marriage to Maria Magrinyà i Porta, daughter of a prominent local merchant. This union allowed him to root himself in the city and begin acquiring prime urban real estate. Carles de Castellarnau thus embodies the figure of a visionary entrepreneur who, starting from the Pyrenean forges, became one of the pioneers of industrialization in Catalonia. The nobility of the Castellarnau family The Castellarnau family belonged to the privileged Catalan nobility, a class made up of nobles, knights, squires, and honored citizens. Their origins date back to Arnau Dacó, lord of castrum Arnaldi. Historically linked to the counts and viscounts of Pallars, they served as castellans of Araós and formed part of the military estate during the Catalan Courts. Recognized as gentlemen since the 14th century and as knights since the 15th century, Carles de Castellarnau himself defended this status in a manifesto, noting that as early as 1380, the family held the title of squire (doncel). This status and the entitlement to military privileges were solidified through various royal privileges granted to different branches of the lineage: 🏰 The privilege of Noble of the Principality granted to Francesc de Castellarnau (1614). 🎖️ The privileges awarded to the brothers Pere, Bernadí, and Miquel de Castellarnau, of the Coix branch. 📜 The nobility proceeding of Lleida (1626), where ten doctors of law officially declared the Castellarnau family as knights subject to military status. 👑 The privilege granted to Baltasar de Castellarnau, of the Guillemó branch, by Archduke Charles III (1707). Although the Castellarnau of Tarragona retained their knight status, from the second half of the 18th century onward, family members began to focus heavily on their roles as landowners, merchants, and business leaders. From Vall Ferrera to Tarragona The expansion of the lineage outside the Pyrenees stemmed from a successional necessity. During the early decades of the 18th century, the dominance and complete control of Baltasar de Castellarnau—from the Guillemó branch—in the Vall Ferrera (reaffirmed by the royal privilege of 1707) forced other family members to carve out new paths and seek prosperity away from the mountains. This relocation was finalized on November 14, 1748, with the marriage of Carles de Castellarnau and Maria Magrinyà i Porta, daughter of a prominent Tarragona merchant. This strategic alliance allowed Ramonet to establish a foothold in the city and serve as the perfect bridge between Pyrenean iron production and the maritime trade networks of Catalonia. From Tarragona, Carles de Castellarnau drove economic growth by directly overseeing the receipt, storage, and distribution of iron shipped to the Tarragona coast. This business boom immediately translated into remarkable social advancement and the acquisition of high-value urban properties, making the family one of the most influential in Tarragona society at the time. The Castellarnau concord Ironworking in the mountains was heavily constrained by the demand for forest resources. Following the construction of the new Forge of Alins in 1756, Carles de Castellarnau took advantage of the local population’s financial needs to systematically buy up the logging rights to communal forests. This loss of municipal control sparked a backlash among residents, who launched a collective legal lawsuit in 1761 to overturn the previous forestry agreements. To counter this external opposition and safeguard their assets, Casa Coix and Casa Ramonet signed a definitive concord on April 12, 1766, to jointly and indivisibly manage the forges of Alins and Ainet, along with all the forests in the Vall Ferrera. This agreement, alongside the will the entrepreneur drafted just days later on April 23, became his final act of testamentary planning before his passing on May 12, 1766, leaving a peaceful and secured legacy for his heirs. The Castellarnau Route through the Vall Ferrera Exploring the connection between the Castellarnau family and the Vall Ferrera today means tracing the landscape that shaped their iron industry. The itinerary starts in Alins, the main town in the valley, which was home to key facilities such as the Forge Demonstration Center, Casa Sintet, and the Torre de les Bruixes. From this point, natural trails lead through the wooded areas of this Pallars
Where to watch the eclipse in Tarragona?
The announcement that our city will be within the path of totality for the upcoming eclipse in Tarragona on August 12, 2026, has generated great excitement. In fact, the response has been so positive that we are already practically ready to hang the “fully booked” sign. It is true that we are talking about August, peak summer season, but what has truly made the difference is the large number of bookings registered specifically targeting this date. However, from a strictly technical point of view, it must be borne in mind that not all locations in the city of Tarragona will be suitable for observation. You must pay attention to the terrain topography and look carefully at official sources’ data, as global guidelines rarely capture the reality at street level. For this reason, many might face major disappointment when, at the critical hour, the Sun hides behind a neighboring building such as, for instance, The Kube tower (Independència Street / Torres Jordi Street), which would force a rush to find an alternative location. Dinner with TGNA guests for the eclipse On August 12, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM, we will experience a historic phenomenon, and at TGNA Tarragona Apartments we want to make it unforgettable. For this reason, we will open the rooftop of the TGNA Reial 1 building exclusively to experience the solar eclipse in a very special way. It will be a unique opportunity to build community with our guests in a free event designed exclusively for TGNA clients. To make the experience perfect, we will be joined by local products and premium collaborators: 🍷 A fine glass of wine from the Mas Vicenç winery. 🥘 A taste of traditional fideuà by Pitu Mosquits. 👓 Glasses with certified protection from Òptica Fullana. ⚠️ Rooftop capacity is strictly limited. Therefore, prior registration is required. Please note that submitting the request form does not directly guarantee a spot; once the request is validated, you will receive an official confirmation email from TGNA which will serve as an invitation to access the event. How to see the eclipse in Tarragona On April 30, we went up to the rooftop of TGNA Reial 1 to carry out an in situ test and check the sunset we usually see in spring over El Serrallo and Torres Jordi. But in summer, the Sun follows a different path; we know for sure that looking ahead to Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 8:30 PM, which is the key minute of total darkness during the eclipse, the Sun will be precisely at 286° azimuth. We will no longer see it set at that spring point, but it will clearly shift to the right, pointing directly towards the urban layout of the city. Furthermore, the altitude of the star will be extremely low, at just 4.4° above the horizon. Since the inclination is so reduced, any building or obstacle in the urban layout will block the Sun at street level; therefore, being on a rooftop or at a high point in the city will be key to enjoying the eclipse in Tarragona. Safe viewing with Òptica Fullana and TGNA Finding a good spot is just as important as protecting your eyes properly to watch the eclipse. For this reason, we are collaborating with Òptica Fullana, a historic establishment and a benchmark for local trade on Rambla Nova, where you can buy your eclipse glasses. Thanks to this agreement, at TGNA Tarragona Apartments we will offer our guests 500 special and certified glasses to follow the entire eclipse in total safety, as watching it without the appropriate filter can cause serious injuries to the retina. If you are still not entirely clear about where to stay in Tarragona during the eclipse, we recommend booking your holiday accommodation in Tarragona with us. Above all, make sure to look for a good elevated location in the city to enjoy the event from an horizon completely free of obstacles.
11th Meeting of Giants and Big-Heads of Sant Magí
On August 8, 2026, the traditional Meeting of Giants and Big-Heads of Sant Magí returns for its eleventh edition. This is a must-attend event for all lovers of local culture and folklore. This year’s celebration will feature 24 giants from Catalonia and Aragon, the lively “Estrella Band” brass band, and a few more surprises. Organized by the Geganters del Passeig Torroja and the Club Maginet, the event features a lively parade through the historic center, marching to the beat of popular traditional tunes like “El Bequetero” or “Jaume Guasch“. The parade will kick off on Rambla Nova, right next to the Balcó del Mediterrani. From there, the giants and guest groups will wind their way through the most iconic streets of the Part Alta (Old Town), including Carrer Major, until they reach Plaça de les Cols. At 7:00 PM, the newly restored Gegants Vells (Old Giants) will be officially presented in the very same square. The grand finale will take place at Pla de la Seu. All participating groups will join in a spectacular collective dance—a powerful display of this living tradition that cements Tarragona’s reputation as one of Catalonia’s premier cities for giant-lore. 🎟️ 11th Meeting of Giants and Big-Heads of Sant Magí 🕰️ From 5:30 PM (gathering of the giants) to 7:30 PM (final dance) 📍 From Rambla Nova (Balcó del Mediterrani) to Plaça de les Cols From TGNA Tarragona Apartaments, we invite you to experience this unique celebration up close. Enjoy the Sant Magí festival to the fullest by staying in one of our 5 apartment buildings, located right in the heart of the city’s cultural life.

Saint John in Tarragona
If you are planning to spend a week’s holiday in Tarragona at the end of June, you will find a city full of life between the festivities of Saint John (Sant Joan) and Saint Peter (Sant Pere). These are days of popular festivals, perfect for going to the beach with friends and family, eating the typical coca de Sant Joan (a traditional sweet bread topped with candied fruit or filled with custard), welcoming the Flama del Canigó in El Serrallo, and enjoying a great castells (human towers) exhibition. Saint John Festival Programme in Tarragona 2026 The first events begin the weekend before Saint John’s Eve, meaning we have almost a full week of celebrations in Tarragona. So you don’t miss a single detail, here are the main events: Date Saint John Event Description 20/6/20260:30 am to 4:00 amCos del Bóu Peta-ho per Sant Joan with the Colla Jove de Tarragona.

Main local festival in El Serrallo with parades, street parties, and maritime processions. Where to find the Saint John bonfires in Tarragona The beaches of El Miracle, L’Arrabassada, Llarga, and La Móra are the places where most people gather, especially groups of friends and families meeting for an outdoor dinner and lighting fireworks by the sea. El Miracle is the busiest due to its proximity to the city center, as it can easily be reached on foot, while L’Arrabassada and La Móra attract a more family-oriented crowd. When planning to go, it’s wise to keep in mind the local municipal regulations regarding fireworks and bonfires. Officially, lighting fires on the sand is strictly forbidden—though there’s always someone who tries it, usually ending badly—and the City Council places extra bins to collect waste before the morning cleaning shifts begin. As a final tip for fire festival enthusiasts, a local group of diables usually performs a small, intimate night-time carretillada (fireworks display)—it doesn’t happen every year and isn’t on the official schedule—at Cala Jovera, right in front of Tamarit Castle. A nearly secret fire show in a protected natural setting. Where to buy the best coca de Sant Joan in Tarragona Whether you prefer the classic Saint John coca with candied fruit and pine nuts or those filled with custard or chocolate, the best choice is to go for artisanal products from traditional local bakeries and pair it with a good Catalan cava. Forn Andreu, located at 21 Carrer Lleida, with over a hundred years of experience, is one of the city’s most iconic spots and one of the few that work with organic grains; their custard-filled cocas have a huge following, so it is best to order them days in advance. However, other excellent and award-winning options include Cal Jan bakery inside the Mercat Central de Tarragona, Velvet MGL, or Pastisseria Conde. How to get around Tarragona on Saint John’s Eve During the evening and night of June 23rd, driving around the center and the seafront of Tarragona becomes quite difficult due to road closures and the influx of people heading down to the city. Vehicle access to El Miracle beach is closed from the afternoon along Passeig de Rafael Casanova, making walking undoubtedly the best choice if you are already in town. If you are coming from outside the city, forget about searching for a parking spot near the sand. The most practical solution is to leave your car in park-and-ride lots like the one at L’Arrabassada, or use the central underground municipal car parks, such as those at Plaça de la Font or Corsini. Additionally, the local bus company (EMT) increases its night service lines to connect the city center with the eastern and western neighborhoods—an ideal alternative to move around without worrying about parking. The City Council does this every year as part of a special summer schedule that kicks off with Saint John. Accommodation in Tarragona for Saint John Planning a week’s summer holiday in Tarragona is a fantastic idea to experience popular traditional festivals like Saint John, Sant Magí, or Santa Tecla. To make the most of these days by the sea, it’s best to find a central, comfortable place to stay that grants you total freedom of movement. Our apartments are just a few minutes’ walk from El Miracle beach, the open-air verbenas, and the squares where the correfocs and castells take place. TGNA Tarragona Apartaments is your best option to experience the summer at your own
Corporate dinner in Tarragona
The rooftop of the TGNA Reial 1 building hosted the celebration of the second anniversary of the TGNA Tarragona Apartaments Economic Interest Grouping, marking the occasion with its first corporate dinner. The evening brought together the team, property owners, and partners for an informal gathering that served to reaffirm the value of a shared management model deeply rooted in the city. During the event, the focus was placed on the daily efforts of the TGNA team to deliver an excellent stay and look after every detail across their 88 apartments. This day-to-day commitment is what sustains the trust of the owners who entrust the management of their properties to them. This operations model is further strengthened by collaborations with strategic businesses and suppliers that provide the competitive edge required in this sector. Key local partners include Bugamed, Bazar el Puerto, Reformes Joan i Òscar, and Prats Electricitat. Professional apartment management in Tarragona Beyond property asset management and accommodation business operations, TGNA’s business model integrates comprehensive, cross-cutting complementary services to diversify its offerings and enhance the final user experience. Furthermore, this strategy is implemented through operational and partnership agreements with key players in the cultural, tourism, wine tourism, and gastronomic sectors, aimed at enriching the company’s value proposition within the destination. Within this partner ecosystem, strong bonds and synergies have been established with leading entities such as the Franz Schubert Filharmonia, Itinere Turisme i Cultura, Celler Mas Vicenç, and the Associació d’Amics de la Part Alta, enabling a comprehensive service offering with deep local roots. Ultimately, the corporate dinner took place in a relaxed atmosphere where guests enjoyed a traditional fideuá by Pitu Mosquits, an excellent open buffet provided by the Amics de la Part Alta, and beautiful views overlooking the Port of Tarragona.
Beaches of Tarragona
Tarragona is a city that captivates with its history. However, it is on the coast and in its beaches where its most natural treasures are found. From the center of the city of Tarragona to the most hidden coves of the Bosc de la Marquesa, the 13 kilometers of the Tarragona coastline are ideal for a quiet stay in one of our apartments in Tarragona. In addition, the beaches and coves of Tarragona are interconnected by the Camí de Ronda, a route that coincides with the GR 92 (Stage 25: Torredembarra-Tarragona), which offers spectacular views of the Costa Daurada. 🌊 Check the state of the beaches Tarragona: a protected natural treasure Tarragona is an extensive municipality that has three natural areas protected by the Plan for Areas of Natural Interest (PEIN). In fact, in the Natural Areas of Tamarit-Punta de la Móra and the Mouth of the Gaià River, the landscape is constantly changing. We find cliffs, stone pines bent by the sea breeze, and a large number of birds like the cormorant. You can either take a tour of the 34 km network of marked paths of the Anella Verda or take the coastal path starting from the Moll de Costa, next to TGNA Reial 1, until you reach Tamarit Castle. Miracle Beach This is the most urban beach in Tarragona, accessible on foot from the city center. It’s the ideal option for a quick getaway to a 980-meter long regenerated sandy beach (finally without the “mamotreto”), with views of the marina and the city’s seafront. Arrabassada Beach 2.2 kilometers from TGNA Llúria 11, Arrabassada beach is the most popular urban beach due to its width of 60 meters and length of 550 meters, and its beach bars that are open all year round. Its fine sand, calm waters, and promenade make it perfect for both families and athletes who do their daily routine running or cycling. Savinosa Beach Savinosa beach is known for its tranquility and for being a place where nature still plays a leading role. Surrounded by pine trees and with a nudist section, Savinosa beach is a Blue Flag beach that is ideal for tranquility. The sand is of high quality, it has showers and a bar, but parking is limited. Capellans Beach Capellans beach is a small cove hidden among cliffs. Thanks to this natural protection, the sea is calm there even with an undertow, unlike more exposed beaches such as Llarga Beach or Miracle Beach It does not have services, which gives it a more natural and pristine environment. The sand is fine and it is an ideal place for an intimate getaway. Access is easy by car, but parking can be a challenge. Llarga Beach Its name says it all: it is the most extensive beach in the city with almost 3 kilometres in length, which has different beach bars and restaurants. Despite being very crowded in the summer and having parking that is sometimes complicated, its wide extension makes it easy to find a quiet place to lay out your towel and spend the day, either by taking a peaceful walk from one end to the other or by hand-picking some razor clams. Cala Fonda o Waikiki Cala Fonda is the natural paradise of Tarragona. This secluded cove with fine sand is exclusively accessible on foot from Platja Llarga. Once you arrive, the beauty of its surroundings, with pine forests and transparent waters, will take your breath away. Having no services, l’Arboçar is a completely natural beach that must be respected, as it lives and suffers from social overexposure. Roca Plana Its protected environment makes it an idyllic place to disconnect. Access is on foot, a small effort from La Móra or Llarga beach that is completely worth it, as it lacks services. Located in the area known as the Marquesa Forest, this cove is a hidden gem. La Móra Beach La Móra beach is a Blue Flag beach, 450 meters long with a family-friendly atmosphere. Despite its urban surroundings, it retains a natural essence with pines, fine sand, and complete services. Its proximity to the residential and restaurant area makes it very convenient for families, although parking can be tricky in the summer. Cala Jovera With Tamarit Castle as a backdrop, this small cove with fine sand is a magical place. It’s the smallest in the area and is perfect for a quick visit. However, it has no services, and the nearest paid parking is inside the campsites. Tamarit Beach Located right next to the castle, Tamarit beach is a spectacular place. The sand is fine with pebbles (in winter) and the beach is very extensive, reaching as far as El Vinyet and La Roca del Gaià, with full services and a blue flag. It is part of a protected natural area, with the mouth of the Gaià river as a natural bastion with its characteristic ducks, and the castle as a spectacular heritage element.
