Cataluna

Follow in the footsteps of the mysterious Cathar people as you journey through a land of great beauty, steeped in tradition and history. Ancient monuments and fabulous natural surroundings at the feet of the Pyrenees mountain range. Traditional local cuisine every evening and special gastronomic dinners to savour at two excellent restaurants.

The Pyrenees & La Garrotxa

Bizarre volcanic landscapes in La Garrotxa Natural Park and gently undulating foothills beneath the snow-capped Pyrenees. This is Old Catalonia, where quiet nature and rural life create the perfect atmosphere for an active yet relaxing holiday.

Baix Empordà & Costa Brava

Fields of sunflowers and wheat, pine forests and rows of rice. An ancient land inhabited by Iberians in pre-Roman times and once besieged by pirates. Farmland dotted with Medieval hilltop villages, protected nature reserves and lovely beaches on the Mediterranean Coast.

Sierra de Montsant

Montsant, the Sacred Mountain of southern Catalonia: an intriguing massif marked by deep gorges and extensive Mediterranean woods. Discover hermitages tucked away in the mountains and villages surrounded by vineyards. Fascinating historical sites such as the Cistercian Monasteries at Poblet and Santes Creus, two outstanding architectural gems.

Penedès & Barcelona

Just south of Barcelona and just inland from the Mediterranean coast, a tranquil rural atmosphere awaits. The Penedès - home to Spain's delicious ‘cava’ - offers gorgeous countryside often compared to that of Tuscany. Equally enchanting are the lesser-known plains of Alt Camp. Try the local elixirs at bodegas and cava cellars built in Catalan Modernist style. Relax at wonderfully comfortable accommodations, in rural settings and in cosmopolitan Barcelona, admiring an amazing display of architecture ranging from the Gothic cathedral to 20th -century masterpieces by Gaudí
