What's on in Reus

Reus is the lively inland capital of the Baix Camp, just behind Tarragona and the Costa Daurada beaches. It made its money on wine and spirits in the 19th century, and that prosperity left it a fine Modernista (Catalan Art Nouveau) centre. It's also the birthplace of Antoni Gaudí, a fact the city wears with pride.

That heritage anchors the calendar: the Gaudí Centre marks the architect's birthday with an open day, and a photography exhibition explores Gaudí and nature. The town's own big celebration is the Festa Major de Sant Pere, the patron saint festival with giants and human towers in the streets. Here's what's on while you're here.
