Visiting Tarragona

Tarragona is a rail hub on Spain's Mediterranean corridor, with two main passenger stations serving different parts of the network. Tarragona station sits in the city on the coastal conventional line, while Camp de Tarragona handles high-speed services on the Madrid-Barcelona corridor outside the urban center. Renfe is the principal operator, with selected high-speed services also provided by Ouigo Espana. Trains from Tarragona include high-speed AVE, Avant, Alvia, Intercity, and regional services depending on the station used. Camp de Tarragona is the train station for long-distance high-speed routes across inland Spain, while Tarragona station serves coastal Regional Express and Media Distancia trains toward Catalonia and the Valencian Community. Travelers should check the station name carefully before buying train tickets, because the two stations are separate. Rail routes from Tarragona run northeast toward Barcelona and Girona, inland toward Lleida, Zaragoza, and Madrid, and southwest along the Mediterranean coast toward Castellon, Valencia, and Alicante. Regional trains to Tarragona also connect nearby coastal towns across southern Catalonia. Book trains from and to Tarragona online at Rail Monsters.
