El Mèdol welcomes over 30 thousand visitors in 2018

The Roman quarry of El Médol, alongside the AP-7 toll road as it runs past Tarragona, exceeded the 30 thousand visitors mark in 2018, with 32,038. This means that the number of visits has grown considerably since the El Mèdol interpretation centre opened its doors for the first time. From 2015 to 2018, the number of tourists have increased by 170%. 

Visitors are primarily groups of tourists (25%), families (24%) and couples (20%). The average number of visitors a month stands at 2,670 people, with a highest concentration (4,219 a month) during the spring months (March, April and May), coinciding with school trips that account for 5% of its visitors. 

Most visits are on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, especially first thing in the morning. The site is open from 9.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday. Visitors can learn more about El Médol from the information provided by the Interpretation Centre, the tourist offices, guides and e-mails, word of mouth, and from the information on the Abertis Foundation’s website. 

The Abertis Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plan establishes the involvement of the Group in the communities where it carries out its business.

The exhibition Miró: la experiencia de mirar” (Miró: the experience of looking)was held at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires (Argentina) from 25th November 2017 to 25th February 2018.

In the previous summary we indicated that the artist Joan Miró maintained a close link with the avant-garde scene in Paris from his youth until a ripe old age. The exhibition sponsored by Abertis at the Grand Palais enabled the Catalan painter to return to the French capital. 

In February 1917, Europe was immersed in the 1st World War. Pablo Picasso was 36 years old then, but was already a great artist who had started the Cubism revolution.
