The golden awakening of Tarragona

Tarragona awakens with this golden background that we see in this series of photographs in La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos. Cheer up life.

Although rain, if it comes, is always welcome, especially in this context of drought also in spring. However, we must accept what we have and be happy about it.

The images highlight the candilazo sky, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that ranges from pink to the most intense orange.

As part of the phenomenon of dispersion of sunlight, in the morning and afternoon hours, when the sun is closer to the horizon, the light that reaches the Earth is of soft tones between red and orange. In a certain way, when this light passes through the clouds, it illuminates them and could be said to color them with those tones.

To watch the sunrise there are several viewpoints in Tarragona, one of which is the Balcón del Mediterráneo, a strategic observation area with views of the sea, the port, the beach and the Roman amphitheater of ancient Tarraco.
