A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. XVIII Mediterranean Games Tarragona 2018
The Mediterranean Games are a sport competition organised every four years, for the
athletes of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of the Mediterranean countries
members of the International Committee for the Mediterranean Games (ICMG). It is both
a sport competition and a crossroad for the cultures, continents and people of the
Mediterranean basin.
The Mediterranean Games are placed under the aegis of the International Olympic
Committee.
2. Tarragona and the co-host cities
The 2018 Mediterranean Games will take place in Tarragona and in 15 other co-host
municipalities, two of which are in the province of Barcelona (Barcelona and
Casteldefells).
The 13 municipalities of the Tarragona surrounding area are: Altafulla, Cambrils, Calafell,
Constantí, El Morell, El Vendrell, La Pobla de Mafumet, La Selva del Camp, Reus, Salou,
Torredembarra, Valls et Vila-seca.
Tarragona lies in Southern Catalonia and it is the capital of the Tarragona district and of
its province. Founded in the 3rd century bC, it has a large port and it is the heart of a vast
Technical Manual for Handball

petrochemical centre. It was the capital city of the Roman province Hispania Citerior and
it still retains important archaeological remains of that period.
Tarragona is a city of light and colours. Its climate, gentle and Mediterranean, together
with the welcoming ambiance of its streets and the hospitality of its inhabitants, helps
create the large, fun, festive and cultural space in the open air that it has become.
On the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Tarragona is one of the four capitals of the
region of Catalonia; it is located 92 km South of Barcelona. The city spreads along 14 km
of the littoral and its beaches have fine and golden sand, hence its name of Golden Coast
(Costa Daurada).
Tarragona is a worthy heir of the Imperial Tarraco. It is a unique city that has succeeded
in combining its remarkable Roman and medieval heritage with true modern gems: all
serves to make it a prime tourist destination.
The city has always sought to recognise and respect its Roman heritage. This has led to
the inscription of the archaeological ensemble of Tarraco, which lays in the city, to the
UNESCO’s World Heritage, in 2000.
