Gastronomy and wine tourism

Would you like to celebrate a special date with your partner in a unique environment? There is no need for you to get on a plane and fly to the other side of the continent. The regions around Barcelona offer unique options that will simply amaze your partner. Here are 7 plans so you can choose the one that best suits your sweetheart. 

You will eat very well in the regions around Barcelona. Whether you are sitting in your grandmother's kitchen, a traditional inn, a small mountain restaurant, coastal fish markets or open-air markets, you will enjoy an array of aromas, colours and flavours that will allure even the most discerning palates. However, if you want to enjoy a top-notch culinary experience, book a table at any of the Michelin-starred restaurants. You will be spoilt for choice! Every year, many venues in the province are recognised for their work with a Michelin star..

It is difficult to find a more appropriate name than Montserrat (serrated mountain) for Catalonia’s most iconic mountain range. With its unusual shapes, bold peaks and dangerous cliffs, the mountain's imposing profile cuts across the sky above the great central depression of Catalonia, while living up to its name. 

A wine-growing region full of contrasts, with a gentle landscape that is just perfect for exploring it on foot, by road bike or on a mountain bike. This is the Alt Penedès, a region close to the sea with a privileged climate, where the gastronomic, cultural and, of course, wine tourism offerings make a visit a very pleasant, perhaps unforgettable, experience. The Penedès360 project allows you to explore it in stages, either on foot or on two wheels.

Getting away with your friends for a couple of days is one of those plans that brightens up your life. It is hard to agree on a weekend, a place, a budget, and it is even harder to get all your obligations taken care of: work, kids, parents and the never-ending to-do list ..., but when you finally manage to do it and suddenly have 24 or 48 hours to share, take care of yourself and celebrate your friendship, you rediscover yourself and relish the happiness of doing what you love most. This is what Gemma and her friends do, as each year one of them takes charge.

In the regions of Barcelona, the first heat of summer holds no fear for us. On the contrary, we like it so much that we welcome it with bonfires, music and dishes made with the best produce from the land and Mediterranean Sea. From the eve of the Festival of Saint John, we enjoy getting together with family and friends, and sharing culinary delicacies from a province that is so rich in produce that it provides us with everything we need. Whether we are under the stars on the shores of the sea or in the shade of the oak trees in the forest, we enjoy being in the open air and eating wonderful food. Here are some fresh, tasty and easy ideas to help you achieve perfection with your summer meals.
