Catalonia has enjoyed a delicious and refined cuisine embracing plain, sea and
mountain, a cuisine which on the coast has recourse to a wide array of fish, and
inland, to typical dishes such as escudella (a meaty broth with pasta, usually
followed by carn d'olla, a hearty stew) and roasts.
For the first two days, we will introduce you to culinary Barcelona, the famous
market of "La Boquería" and other different highlights of this incredible
Mediterranean city.
The rest of the cooking holidays you will be lodged at Mas Ses Vinyes, one of
the numerous "masias" (traditional rural house in Catalonya) a charming and
comfortable small hotel close to the Costa Brava in a unique combination of
mountain and coastal scenery.
Naturally, being less than an hour away from several houses and exhibits of Dali
(Figueres, Cadaqués…), you will have enough time to explore this Dali's route
coupled with culinary visits to traditional bakeries, markets, as well as
participating in a wine tasting. The Medieval villages and towns of Girona,
Pals, Peratallada, Palafrugell, …Historical sights placed on beautiful
landscapes of shaped cliffs, the unforgettable Mediterranean sea, olive groves
and vineyards. A real opportunity to experience and understand what the
Mediterranean has been for these people along the centuries.
We will organize a series of three cooking classes during these days at
different venues in the area, to bring you up on the most traditional recipes of
Catalonya. Two of them will take place at the prestigious Aula Gastronomica del
Ampurdá. You will enjoy a third one with a local gastronome and foodie.
The area also accounts for a good number of upper quality restaurants featuring
the local cuisine of L' Empordà, which has become famous for the constant
references in the books of famous Catalan writer Josep Plà.

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
