Landscape of the Genies

Artists end up being the cultural drivers of a region, and the Costa Daurada has an intangible heritage ranging from music to architecture, painting and sculpture. The Landscape of the Geniuses will allow you to delve into the life and work of four universal artists, sons of four municipalities in the regions of Tarragona where they spent long periods of their lives: Antoni Gaudí in Reus, Joan Miró in Mont-roig del Camp, Pau Casals in El Vendrell and Pablo Picasso in Horta de Sant Joan, the latter located in the Terres de l'Ebre. These four artists have made unique contributions to world culture and, of course, have modified the idiosyncrasies of their hometowns, which proudly wear this title. His works are our best tourist guides. Do we know them?

Did you know...?

• Reus and Riudoms continue to dispute the merit of having been Gaudí's hometown. A curiosity that has already been institutionalized in the form of a friendly rivalry between both towns.
• Joan Miró arrived in Mont-roig del Camp for the first time in 1911, to recover from an illness. Inspired by his landscape, he conceived and created a universe that made him an international benchmark.
• In 1971, US President John Fritzgerald Kennedy awarded Pau Casals the Medal of Freedom for his contribution to the struggle for peace in the world, of which he became a benchmark.
