The presentation took place at the Catalunya stand under the slogan “Tarragona, 2,000 years of the best sports competitions, from the Roman legacy to the great events of the present”. This strategic commitment seeks to diversify the tourist offer and complement the cultural and heritage offer with sports tourism and gastronomy.
“"To speak of Tarragona and sport today is to speak of a history spanning more than 2,000 years."
The event featured prominent figures such as former professional cyclist Perico Delgado, Tarragona athlete Mireia López, and former basketball player Fernando Romay, who highlighted the quality of the city's infrastructure, natural environment, and organizational experience.
The manager of the Patronat d’Esports, Ramon Cuadrat, recalled that Tarragona was distinguished with the National Sports Award 2024. Last year alone, the city hosted over 55 sporting events, with the participation of nearly 40,000 athletes and an economic impact exceeding 13 million euros.
Key events for the immediate future include the start of a stage of the Tour de France 2026, the celebration of the Special Olympics, and competitions such as the Tarragona Premier Padel P1 and the Spanish Table Tennis Championships, maintaining high ambition for the annual calendar.
