Reus is not only the birthplace of Gaudí but also one of the most culturally vibrant towns in Catalonia.

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Tarragona (Region) Visitors can start the route at Plaza Prim, home to the beautiful Fortuny Theater, and then walk along Calle Montrolles to Plaza de la Mercadal, where they’ll see Casa Navas, a modernist gem designed by Domenech Montaner that still features its original, period coffered ceilings and light fixtures. The Gaudí Centre is also located here. From the Mercadal, continuing along Carrer Major, visitors will reach the Reading Centre, a popular library that houses a valuable library and interesting artwork. The Gothic church on the Plaza Sant Pere dates back to the 16th century and features an impressive octagonal bell tower from which you can see the entire Costa del Sol. The two most important museums in Reus are the Salvador Vilaseca Archaeological Museum and the Regional History Museum, which houses paintings and drawings by Maria Fortuny and sculptures by Joan Rebull. If you're interested in Gaudí, you can follow a route around Reus to visit the house where he was born or the church where he was baptized, with the final stop being the Gaudí Centre: 1,200 square meters of exhibition dedicated to his work. Two other interesting tourist routes are the Modernist Route – a stroll through Reus visiting nearly 80 Modernist buildings, such as the iconic Pere Mata College – or the Absinthe Route. If you want to learn more about Gaudí and other artists such as Miró and Picasso in the Costa Dorada and Ebro regions, we recommend you take the Genius Landscape Route. #FebruaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Catalonia
