Barcelona & Catalonia

Home to the numerous masterpieces of Antonio Gaudí, Doménechi Montaner, and the ultimate Picasso museum, Barcelona is Spain’s must-visit for those who love architecture, modern art, haut-cuisine, and of course local wines like the sparkling wines of “Cava,” or the robust reds from Priorat. And with Barcelona’s coastal location and international airport, spending a few days here allows you to also enjoy day trips to nearby places including the historic Montserrat monastery, the vast vineyards of Penedes, Dalí’s home in Figueras, the Jewish Quarter of Gerona, the stunning Costa Brava, or the beach towns along the Mediterranean.

After marveling at Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia, take a stroll through the colorful, floral, and aromatic Park Güell, or snack your way through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, stopping here and there for a Cava or café. Follow the Modernism Route to Reus or the Roman ampitheater in Tarragona, or after an astonishing visit to the heroic viticultural areas of Priorat and Montsant, enjoy a sunset dinner on a boat in the Ebro Delta, known for its rice fields and fresh vegetables. Which sense do you want to tickle first?
