About the location

Reus is a thriving, small and elegant city and makes a great base for the experience of Spanish city living like a local, without the tourists, stress and expense of being in the middle of Barcelona.

The center of this city has a vibrant atmosphere, full of terraces and cafes, where you can enjoy the sun and a vermouth (a drink with a strong tradition in this city).

If you like architecture, you can enjoy a visit to the beautiful Navas modernist house, the Pere Mata institute or even a tour of the main modernist houses in the city (you will find all the information at the tourist point located in Plaza-square- Mercadal)

It is also possible in a short hop (easiest by car, but perfectly possible by public transport) to be in beautiful Mediterranean pine forests in the mountains, or on the coastal beaches within 30 mins ... perfect for beach time, excellent wine tourism, and some really enjoyable hiking!
It is 80 mins by train to Barcelona, so day trips there are perfectly possible.

Getting around:
From my place, the coach and train stations are 10 mins walk away, from where a range of places are served, such as the beaches (from 20 mins), but also Tarragona, Barcelona, as well as little mountain villages.
However, a car is helpful, and makes exploring beyond Reus somewhat easier. Car hire is easily available at Reus or Barcelona airports.

Getting there:
In terms of flight connections, Barcelona airport (70 mins drive away) has to be one of the best-linked cities in southern Europe, with frequent direct flights across Europe, the US, Asia, and the Middle East.
But also little Reus is blessed with its own airport (8 mins drive away!) and has flights from many UK and Irish regional cities, from March to October.
