Girona and Reus highlighted as key Catalan cultural destinations

Girona and Reus are highlighted as significant cultural and historical destinations in Catalonia. Girona is noted for its medieval charm, including the colorful houses along the Onyar River, the Eiffel-designed red iron bridge, and the well-preserved Jewish Quarter, which dates back to the 12th century.

Reus has been recommended by The Times as a destination for weekend getaways, particularly for its connection to Catalan Modernism. As the birthplace of Antoni Gaudí, the city features notable architecture such as Casa Navàs by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, as well as Casa Rull and Casa Bartolí. The city also hosts the Gaudí Centre and the Sant Pere bell tower.
