Last year when we were in Barcelona, we have seen quite a few of Gaudi monuments and found them very beautiful and interesting. Therefore, when we discovered that there is Gaudi Centre in Reus (birthplace of Gaudi), we decided to make this detour on our way from Tarragona to Valencia. Oh boy, what a nice experience and what an increase of our knowledge of Gaudi. There is a very deep car park nearby but it has very narrow ramps and spaces. Fortunately, our car has a good warning system as otherwise we would have come out with scratches all around. Obviously, the driver was also excellent!

Wonderful landscape, great water and friendly people. My husband felt dizzy and very quickly people came to help us. Such a wonderful beach and kind people (specially the guy of the wooden bar, who allowed us to stay some time on the shade and asked often how we were doing) made me feel in paradise.

In 1898 building work began on the Pere Mata psychiatric institute, one of the great projects of the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The building marked the beginning of the brilliant Catalan modernist era in the city of Reus. After its completion, Domènech went on to design other buildings here and the spirit of Catalan modernism spread vigorously throughout the whole city.

4.5 based on 318 reviews
Built by the architech Lluis Domenech i Montaner, Casa Navas is one of the best examples of European Art Nouveau. The house was built between 1902 and 1908, and is located in the very centre of the city of Reus. Casa Navas was a project for the marriage of merchants Joaquim Navas and Josepa Blasco. It was a building that housed their new dwelling and their clothing business. It showed the Mercadal square an imposing facade of stone with a tower located in the corner, now lost to the Spanish Civil War. Casa Navas is open every day for visits. The tickets are for sale in the official website, in Casa Navas, and in Reus Tourism Office.

Coming from the U.K. we have a plethora of beautiful homes and palaces - for interiors this takes the prize. Simply stunning if very indulgent - the pink fireplace and bathroom were our personal favourites. Really like stepping back in time and as if the owners had just popped out for a walk. So unspoilt, so ornate, yet a family home. Our guide, Pilar, did a great job of running a tour in Spanish and English - a good way To practice Spanish too to see how much you pick up before the English version. Just sad the owner didn’t live to enjoy, just his widow, but nice to see in the heirs it found someone to love it. Look forward to seeing the external tower and coronet renovations. Remember to look out for the moth mosaic as you enter ! Yes 10/11 euros not cheap and you can only take photos on entry- but creating priceless memories to us well worthwhile and nice not to see through a phone lease. Don’t miss if you visit Reus- so lucky that it has recently opened to the public . Hopefully something sympathetic will be done with the original linen store that is now empty. Maybe a cloth/linen themed cafe? Brilliant building outside and in.

8. Parc Sama

Parc Samà is a garden with memory, a Mediterranean orchard, a poetic forest, a melancholic palace… Parc Samà is the summer residence that in 1881 built Salvador Samà, Marquis of Marianao, between Cambrils and Montbrió, surrounded by vineyards, olive and almond trees. It is the legacy of an ‘Indiano’, a fusion of styles and a delight for the senses.

We spent a lovely morning at Parc Sama situated a short drive away from Cambrils centre. This beautiful Parc has so much to offer and will appeal to many tastes. The Parc has wildlife such as deer which you can feed, peacocks roaming the grounds and turtles swimming in the lakes! There is a magnificent lavender field, a grand Manor House and bridges and pathways that take you on a journey into its past glory. This tranquil haven is complete with different species of plants and trees some of which are rare. There is a small gift shop selling local produce and souvenirs and the place is run by friendly helpful staff.
