I used to live and work close to Reus, where Gaudí was born, and I had the chance to visit his home, the church that inspired him, and the museum dedicated to him there.
He was a genius, and his architecture is just phenomenal. Reus is a very Catalan town with a rich history and heritage, and you can feel that it when you walk its streets. It certainly was ingrained within Gaudí and he was a proud Catalan.
I had the chance to visit the Sagrada Familia, but that place is wild – there’s so many tourists.
