Reus

Three linked squares form the core of Reus, connected by two busy pedestrian streets. The largest, Plaça de la Llibertat, was remodelled in 2003 and regularly hosts fairs and exhibitions focused on local products such as oil, wine and nuts. Carrer Llovera leads from there to Plaça de Prim, historically the social centre of the city and long home to the trading exchange; it also holds the Teatro Fortuny, the larger of the city's two classical theatres.

Carrer Monterols continues to Plaça del Mercadal, the old market square, where you'll find the Town Hall and the city's most emblematic Modernista building, Casa Navàs, designed by Domènech i Montaner. The same architect built the Institut Pere Mata between 1897 and 1912, originally as a psychiatric hospital, on the road of the same name. Other notable buildings include the Palau Bofarull, now a music conservatory, and the Palau dels Marquesos de Tamarit, home to the Centre de Lectura.

The old town also retains several historic fountains, including those of La Sang (1779), Neptune (1789) and Hercules (1857).

Reus is served by Rodalies train lines from both Barcelona and Tarragona; timetables are at rodalies.gencat.cat. The bus company PLANA (planabus.com) runs transfers from Reus and Barcelona to La Pineda, Salou, PortAventura Hotels and Cambrils. As of April 2026, Reus and its approach roads have 5G coverage from all Spanish carriers.
