Antoni Gaudí is the most universal genius that Reus has given. The architect revolutionized his profession, with totally groundbreaking designs and the vindication of traditional professions without forgetting the pragmatism that characterized the modernists.
Reus is a city that has produced great artists and intellectuals. The people of Reus have always valued and promoted culture and art, especially in the effervescent period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gaudí drank from this atmosphere, demonstrating great talents for drawing and sensitivity for art, and they were the basis of his future and brilliant career.
Despite the fact that the city does not have any works by the architect, Reus preserves the memory of Antoni Gaudí, from his birthplace to the places he frequented in his childhood and adolescence before leaving for Barcelona. You can retrace the steps of the genius with the "Gaudí&Reus" Route, which includes the sculpture that the city dedicated to him in his childhood as a point of interest, to understand the universe of the modernist architect.

Mediterranean cuisine and the products historically grown in the area are the backbone of Reusca gastronomy. Among its flagship products are vermouth, hazelnut, olive oil and menjablanc. All of them have strong roots in the city and are governed by strict quality standards. They can be purchased at municipal food markets or local stores.
The Reus restaurant is a booming sector. The gastronomic offer of the Baix Camp capital has been multiplied in recent decades and currently offers proposals for all tastes and sensibilities. From traditional food to world cuisine, you will surely find a restaurant to suit you during your stay in Reus.
Enjoying the local gastronomy offers another dimension to visitors to Reus. And when you get home, don't forget to take a bottle of vermouth or a bag of toasted hazelnuts with you.
The Vermut de Reus brand is synonymous with quality and is known far beyond the municipality. To the historical brands, which still continue their production activity started at the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th, new ones have been added encouraged by the boom in the consumption of the drink. The city even has the Vermouth Museum , a restaurant with the world's largest exhibition dedicated to vermouth.
And why is Reus vermouth so popular? On the one hand, it is a product with a certain aura of mystery, since the exact formula is a real secret. The aromatic plants that are mixed to make it can reach a hundred, a number that makes it almost impossible to copy; that's why each vermouth from each producer has a different touch. Also, because it is made following its own method, a way of doing things that has been passed down from generation to generation over time.
But what really makes vermouth special is the experience of vermouth time. Reus has kept alive the tradition of going to make vermouth and sharing this time of leisure and conversation with family and friends. It can be taken at home, but especially in some of the most 'vermuter' squares in the city, among which stand out the central Plaça del Mercadal and the streets and other squares that surround it.
