It’s “Friend” Special time!

Special 186 features Lorna Cowan’s visit to Reus, a historic cobbled city in Catalonia.

This lesser-known gem is just 90 minutes from Barcelona. And it is well worth exploring.

The site of festivals all year round, it’s a perfect holiday spot.

Lorna talks us through what to see in and around the city.
