Reus Holidays

For many visitors, Reus holidays are a chance to learn about Spain’s greatest architect. This attractive city is the birthplace of the legendary Antoni Gaudi i Cornet – the man behind Barcelona’s epic basilica Sagrada Familia. The Gaudi Centre in Reus provides an excellent introduction to the man and his work, with scale models, biographical displays and multimedia exhibits. While Gaudi didn’t build in Reus, there are several other modernist structures to wonder at along the city’s Ruta del Modernisme.

As well as allowing arty folk to go Gaudi-mad, the city is also a great choice for shoppers. Reus was once a major trading city and hub for the alcohol and textile trades – and it’s still famous for its excellent shopping and vermouth. The Vermouth Museum is an interesting visit, plus it has a restaurant, and you can continue your research at many of the stylish city-centre bars. Beyond the city, the cliffs and crags of the Sierra de Prades Mountains offer top-class rock-climbing adventures. So for architecture, nature and the finer things in life, holidays to Reus are sure to show you a good time.
