Tarragona

This is a trip in time: more than 2200 years ago Romans founded the first roman city in the Iberian Peninsula: “Tarraco”. Tarraco became the capital of the Roman Empire for a couple of years.

That’s why it boasts some of the most fascinating Roman ruins in all of Iberia. In fact, today it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Roman Aqueduct (in a favorable conservation status), the Roman walls, the Roman Circus, the Amphitheatre, the Gothic Cathedral are all a Must-to-see

Reus

Gaudi’s hometown and the second city in the province of Tarragona. Its historic center is a beautiful set of modernist buildings and elegant shopping streets. Founded in the 12th century, it soon stood out for its weekly market held in the most central square.

The city reached its peak between the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became the second city in Catalonia, thanks to vermouth industry and later, textile sector . A reflection of this economic power is its modernist heritage, the pride of the city.
