Hi,
We are a family from India planning to visit Spain in Early June with our 2 children (ages 10 and 14). We would like to spend 2 days in a nice boutique resort/B n B either in Tarragona or somewhere closeby to the town as I think the Roman ruins and beaches would be ideal for kids. Looking for suggestions from everyone on few places to stay at and places to visit of interest to kids. We would prefer if the resort/B n B is easily located near some form of public transport as we would be arriving from Barcelona by train/bus. Also pls suggest if travelling to Tarragona's sight-seeing spots and other scenic beaches would reqiure a car or is the public transport well-connected and frequent so that we don't need a car? Finally is Tarragona a small town and if we were to stay within Tarragona town itself, can one visit these places (amphitheatre, acqueduct, Balcon De Mediterrano, Monastry Pablo, Toy museum etc) by walking ?
Thanks in advance for all your tips and suggestions!

Salou (wide beaches)and Cap Salou are easy transport (bus or train) from Tarragona. A lot of Brits (pubs/fish and chips places) in those towns. Cambrils is a tad further and more fishing village (seemed to be more French tourists when I was there).
There are quite a few resort type hotels in the area such as this one.

Port Aventura (theme park) is between Salou and Tarragona. There are also water parks, etc.

To reach Barcelona from these towns, you would take the train.
Use Google maps.

Thanks kybourbon, viajero2! I'll checkout these useful websites
Seens some good hotels in villages/towns called ALTAFULLA and BOTARRELL. Would these places have good connectivity with Tarragona town? Since we are not planning to rent a car, would like to be able to visit the Roman ruins and beaches either by cab if its not too far away; or by public transport.
