Reus (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈrɛws]) is the capital of Baix Camp, in Camp de Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain. The area has always been an important producer of wines and spirits, and gained continental importance at the time of the Phylloxera plague. Currently it is known for its commercial activity, for being a centre for rock-climbing and as the birthplace of architect Antoni Gaudí.
