Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 210 reviews
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.

The Mercadal square was formerly the market place . Here are some of the most iconic buildings in the city ( City Hall, Casa Navàs and the Gaudí Centre) and the main cultural and festive events such as the Festival of San Pedro , develop by the end of June . Throughout the year there is a lively meeting place for citizens and visitors , occupying the many outdoor cafes . Market Square is also the " gateway" in the old town , which extends around the Priory Church of San Pedro .

The Joan's Miro House, where he lived almost every summer of his life. The place where Miró decided to devote himself to painting and that immortalized in many of his paintings. A unique place in the world to know and understand the life and work of Joan Miró.

This is the old watchtower for Cambrils and a land mark building on the promenade It was the lookout point for pirates. It was built in the 17 century and used to have artillery on the top. It was only open on a Saturday and Sunday whilst we were there. in May. It is free to go in. It is renovated and used as an exhibition space. At the moment and until the beginning of June they have a series of photographs by Carlinos Mco from Galicia in northern Spain. There is a very modern staircase to get to the first floor and then a traditional stone spiral staircase to the the top. There is a viewing terrace all around the tower. Lovely views over the town and Marina. If you don't like heights you can see the views through the windows. The young woman on duty was very pleasant and helpful.
