Reus is a picturesque town that was once famous for the production of brandy. Today it is a bustling town that spans 59 square kilometres and has approximately 100,537 inhabitants.
Reus has plenty of interesting sights and, in addition, it's only 10 km from the beaches of the Costa Dorada and 100km from Barcelona.
It is also the home town of Antoni Gaudi, the famous Catalan modernist architect, although, ironically, there are no examples of his work here.
In June the town enjoys its biggest fiestas, and you'll see live music in all the town squares every night, and street entertainments. You'll also see the famous towers made of men (Castellers) - unless they tumble down that is!
There are quite a few bars and restaurants with tapas and menus of the day (Menu del dia) for reasonable prices. In the summer terrace bars spring up all over the place.
