There are trains every thirty minutes between Sants Estacio and Tarragona and the journey takes ninety minutes. The
train station
(information on 977 240 202) is in the lower town: turn right and climb the steps ahead of you and you'll emerge at the top of the Rambla Nova, from where everything is a short walk away. The
bus terminal
(information on 977 229 126) is at the other end of the Rambla Nova, at Placa Imperial Tarraco; buses from Barcelona's Estacio del Nord run at least eighteen times daily and, again, the journey takes ninety minutes. There are taxi ranks on Rambla Nova (at the Moto Club), in Placa de la Font, and at the bus and train stations.
