The Mediterranean Games are a series of multi-sport and cultural events that fall within the Olympic Movement, held by the 24 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. This event became a reality in 1951 and since then 17 editions have already been held.

The emblem of the Mediterranean Games are three intertwined white rings. The rings symbolize the three continents united by this competition: Asia, Africa and Europe, and the blue color relates to the fact that these three continents have Mediterranean Sea coasts.

Next year, Tarragona and its area of influence will host the 2017 Mediterranean Games. They will be held from June 30th to July 9th in 16 municipalities located in the territory. They consist of 33 sport disciplines and will gather 4,000 athletes from 26 nationalities, 1,000 judges and international representatives, 1,000 journalists, 3,500 volunteers and more than 150,000 spectators.
