Reus (107,2011 inhabitants) is located near Tarragona, in Catalonia. Its fertile land is dedicated to the cultivation of vineyard, olive and hazelnut. The area has always been an important producer of wines and spirits, and gained continental importance at the 18th century when it became a regional trading centre. Reus developed itself into a European market leader in the trade and production of brandy. This period of growth led to the confident slogan ‘Reus, Paris, London’.

The spirit of commerce is still alive and kicking. This becomes apparent from the large amount of shops in this small city.

The most famous son of Reus is the world-famous architect Antonio Gaudí. The founder of Sagrada Família, Parc Güell and countless other structures spent the first sixteen years of his life in Reus. In this period his artistic basis was laid. Reus has an important modernist route.
