The Costa Daurada has known how to sustain the live heritage of its habits and traditions, achieving to overcome the step of the time, and arriving at our days with the same cultural richness than the first ones. Many of these traditions have turned into open and crowded parties which have helped to configur the identity of the demarcation: ceremonious escorts, spectacular human tower members, essential showmanship, sardanas and jotas or parties of fire and water are some examples.

The essentially Tarragonese parties get confused and mingle with those that are typically Catalan, while those of religious origin are alternated with the pagan ones. It is a matter of a completely heterogeneous set of celebrations that marks the rhythm of the annual calendar between the most ancestral traditions and the relatively modern ludic acts. Tarragona has an extense range of ludic and festive possibilities, once the most important have been gotten together in the calendar.
