Can't decide among all these races, but still have some requirements? ๐
Let us guess, you are looking for a half-marathon in Spain ๐ช๐ธ, in a great setting and atmosphere? โ๏ธ Look no further, we have what you need! We are delighted to present the Vila-Seca Half Marathon๐, or in Catalan Mitja Marato de Vila-Seca! If you don't know where this city is located, well, it's a city in Catalonia! ๐บ๏ธ It is in the comarca of Tarragonรจs, province of Tarragona ๐๏ธ, on the Costa Daurada. Participating in the Vila-Seca Half Marathon is above all enjoying a route that goes through both the historic center of the historic city ๐ and its coastal districts, offering a unique visual experience throughout the 21 km! ๐ Of course, if you're not a fan of the half, you can always turn to the road race course of 10 km, or even the 5 km one! ๐โโ๏ธ The event is organized by the Vila-Seca Runners Sports Club, a non-profit sports club ๐คธโโ๏ธ, strongly committed to promoting sports, especially running, through its sports project! ๐ช
You can't deny that running by the sea ๐ is pretty awesome, and not all cities can offer you that luxury! However, only the half-marathon route allows you to greet the fish ๐, for the other two, you'll have to "settle for" the historical sites of the city, like the Vila-Seca Castle ๐ฐ a medieval fortress transformed in the 19th century, or the Saint Stephen's Church โช, notable for its simple and elegant style, between late Gothic and Renaissance influences... ๐ Oh no... Really too boring! Well, now that we've whetted your appetite with our little history point, we highly recommend extending your Spanish stay to have time to explore all the beautiful things in and around the city... ๐ฅ
Tarragona, a city waiting for your visit, where you can see its impressive Roman heritage, like the Roman Amphitheater and the Roman Forum, ideal for history lovers ๐๏ธ. Port Aventura is just a few kilometers away, this amusement park is perfect for family or friends fun ๐ข. For beach lovers, there's Salou, where you can relax on its golden beaches and enjoy water activities โฑ๏ธ.

So, ready to immerse yourself in the Catalan atmosphere? ๐
