Falset

Now the grape dominates completely as you enter the rich wine-growing valley around Falset. The vast vine-clad hills are dotted with tiny villages that seem to float above the vineyards on their little hillocks. Look back as you leave Falset, for there is an enchanting view of the town. The highway follows a winding downward course through a number of passes to Reus, the birthplace of architect Antonio Gaudí and also known for its wool weaving. The town is now mostly industrial and not particularly appealing to tourists. Just past Reus, join the A7 freeway for a short drive into Barcelona.
