Secret Reus

Reus is the capital of Baix Camp region. With its 107,000 inhabitants, it is the second largest city in the province of Tarragona. Its historic centre is a beautiful place with modernist buildings and elegant shopping streets. The city reached its peak between the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became the second largest city in Catalonia, thanks to the moonshine industry and later, the textile and vermouth industries. A reflection of this economic power is its modernist heritage, the pride of the city. But beyond modernism, we find much more in Reus: History, traditions, legends, mysteries, illustrious personalities, popular sayings, curiosities, and secrets… Join this tour to learn about the general history of Reus, its culture and traditions, in a fun way, through curiosities that are sometimes hidden in the city.
