Spanish term or phrase: Tarragona, con mucho gusto
This is a fun one. It would be cool to maintain the double entendre, but anything goes. It's an ad slogan for the city of Tarragona for tourist brochure with package tours.

Tarragona, a real treat


Explanation:
As a literal translation would lose one of the meanings of "gusto", I've opted for "treat" which has a similar double meaning and takes advantage of a bit of alliteration to get a snappy phrase.

agree  David Ronder: Yes, snappier and more slogan-like: it also preserves a (if not exactly the) double entendre - with pleasure, indicating polite assent, plus the idea that Tarragona offers pleasure

Tarragona, Here We Come!


Explanation:
The idea is to attract people to Tarragona. This expression should read and sound as an (already) accepted invitation by tourists. We are coming, no ifs or butts. Just another idea.
