Gimcana modernista a Reus — a 2‑hour interactive stroll through Reus’s turn‑of‑the‑century Modernisme.
This is an interactive, guided gimcana through the heart of Reus: a compact urban route that asks participants to read façades, solve enigmas and piece together the story of Modernisme in the city. The route examines local modernist figures — notably Domènech i Montaner and Pere Caselles — and evaluates the influences that shaped their work, including the echoes of Gaudí, all through participatory dynamics and observation of the most famous buildings in Reus.
