Once again, we had a wonderful trip to explore more of Spain.
So much in only a few days. Find the highlights of our trip
This time the area of the Costa Brava, based in Roses.
From Roses we headed inland to Besalú. This is an unspoilt medieval town, with a very picturesque bridge. We had a guided tour and learned about the history of the town and the Jewish population.
We can’t visit Spain without visiting a bodega, this time we went to Perelada. This pretty little hilltop town has more though. In the town is a museum dedicated to the original family here, founders of a forgotten marque of cars, very successful in its day, it has been revived with some impressive electric sports cars. The Bodega is a new building, mostly underground, and also experimenting with new techniques and materials, producing some very enjoyable wines.
We then went to Cadaqués, to see the home of Dali, an artist with a very strong connection to the region. Our experience was reinforced with a visit to the Dali Museum in Figueres, his place of birth. Here we were given a tour, giving insight into Dali´s works.
At this time of the year calçots grow in the countryside, therefore we ate calçots with romesco source, a typical Catalonian dish. We learnt how to deal with them.
On our way back to the airport, we called into Barcelona to visit an iconic building, designed by a unique architect, the Sagrada Familia. We were all impressed by the airy spacious design inside, built to resemble the trees of a forest. We also visited the Gothic Quarter of the city, just to tempt us a1ll back.
Lo pasamos genial ¡Volveremos!
