Mother of God of Mercy Fiesta in Reus
Saint Peter is the patron saint of Reus, and the Mother of God of Mercy is his female counterpart. She also has a great festival in her honour. It's considered to be 'Reus's little festival'. The September 24 sees the celebration of the Torch Rosary Parade, which winds its way from Plaça de la Pastoreta to the sanctuary. There are a number of masses said at the sanctuary on the 25th, with the main mass at 11am. The festive groups also head for the sanctuary and a dance is held outside it. In the afternoon there are traditional dances, human tower building exhibitions and the traditional Dance of the Demons.

Terrània, International Festival of Ceramics in Montblanc
One of the things Terrània sets out to do is to help people discover artistic and decorative ceramics, a type that's still not well-known in Catalonia where ceramics are normally associated with traditional uses (household utensils, for example). That's why this festival aims to show off high-quality pieces, technical demonstrations of the pottery wheel, modelling and raku, as well as a spectacular show of how to fire up the ceramics.
October 11-12
Clickània - Playmobil Festival in Montblanc
This is an enormous exhibition of these famous toys in the shape of themed dioramas, including medieval, pirate, western, circus, playground and Egyptian scenes. There is also a competition of dioramas, and a multimedia space in which visitors can play with Playmobil on computers.
October 11-12
Wind Festival in Pla de Santa Maria
On one hand, the Wind Festival features a number of multisector stalls, like many other fairs around the country. But on the other hand, the festival sees a gathering of ultralight aircraft, paramotors, sailcars and model aircraft. This is therefore an essential event for fans of these devices, and you can also enjoy a popular fashion show and a concentration of Harley Davidson motorbikes.
October 13-16
RallyRACC Catalunya-Costa Daurada
If you're a petrol head, a good time to visit the lands of Tarragona is during the RallyRACC Catalunya-Costa Daurada. And if you're too lazy to get out and watch the race from one of the bends on one of the mountain roads, you can catch a special race that's been held in Salou for the last two seasons. The drivers go full-speed down Passeig de Jaume I and adjacent streets, and you can be within touching distance! And as a special bonus, Slou is putting on a 'Tapas Rally' around town on the same dates.
