Valls is an interesting inland town in Tarragona. Among its main traditions are the Castellers, symbolized by a monument to the children in the shape of a human tower in the town center. It is also known as the birthplace of the calçotada, a typical Catalan dish in which spring onions are grilled over hot coals and served with a rich almond and spice sauce, likely derived from the fertile surrounding farmland. Furthermore, Valls boasts a historic center that still exudes a medieval atmosphere, with numerous well-preserved buildings that are well worth a visit.
